Wade Guyton

Wade Guyton was born in Indiana in 1972. After graduating high school he earned a B.A. from the University of Tennessee before going on to Hunter College in New York to earn his M.F.A. degree. His works of art combine the traditional use of linen canvas with the modern elements of computer and ink jet printer. Because of inherent flaws such as drips, streaks, and blurs, that can occur when using ink on linen, Wade Guyton never really knows what his artwork will look like, even if he had a strong conceptual drawing. Wade Guyton's signature works feature large black x's on a white linen background. Because he likes to work in a series, there are several variations of this theme in Guyton's portfolio. Recently a large scale version of one of his earlier works was recreated using a wide format printer and joining printed pieces together to form the whole.
