ARTIST STATEMENT

Artist Wendell Shannon photographed by Tyrone Wilkins.

"As an artist, I create geometric art that invites viewers to reflect on their own journey through life. My work explores the pivotal moments, milestones, and life-altering experiences that shape who we are, while highlighting how the unexpected can drastically change one’s path. I use large, audacious canvas sizes and surfaces that command attention, pulling spectators in and guiding their eyes to see how all the pieces of the art—like a puzzle—fit together. Bold colors, sharp lines, and intricate patterns convey the unpredictability of life, encouraging my audience to consider their own stories of transformation and how these shifts influence their trajectory. Through my art, I aim to create a visual narrative that captures the complexity of these moments, offering a map for reflection and discovery." - Wendell Supreme Shannon
