Wyatt Mills (b. 1991) lives and works in Downtown Los Angeles. Working at the intersection of abstract expressionism and contemporary Americana, Mills interrogates Western influence, the human condition, and interpersonal experience. His stylistically ambidextrous approach merges immaterial shapes with tangled, corporeal forms, cultivating a kind of deliberate, exuberant disorder. Frequently reworking the same canvas—destroying, rebuilding, and obscuring—he pursues an image that feels both uncannily familiar and psychologically charged. Through this iterative process, Mills offers a pointed reflection on contemporary desensitization and the dissonance produced by an accelerated, image-driven culture.
Mills studied painting at the School of Visual Arts in New York before continuing his practice at the Berlin Institute of Arts in Germany. His work has been exhibited internationally, with notable presentations at Vielmetter Gallery, Los Angeles (2024); The Hermitage Museum, Bombay Beach, CA (2024); Nothing At All Gallery, Hong Kong (2023); la Beast Gallery, Los Angeles (2023); Galerie Droste, Paris (2022); Galerie Droste, Berlin (2022); Maddox Gallery, Los Angeles (2021); and the Long Beach Museum of Art, CA (2019).
