College Station/Bryan l Page 4 THE BATTALION Monday, October 8,2D} londay, Octobe Local artist Dale Wicks has art displayed in Bryan-College Station J By LYC1A SHRUM THE BATTALION Dale Wicks began his career as a serious painter in 1989 because of an unusual encounter with a bathroom light. Wicks said when he turned on the light in the bathroom he noticed how all the grays became colors, so he turned off the light to observe the transition again. He said he thought without light there was no color and he believed that God was light. So he went out, bought supplies and started painting. Dale Wicks, with wife Darnell and daughter Rachel, have established themselves in the art world of Central Texas. The Wicks family moved to College Station three-and-a-half years ago, bringing a world full of color along with them. Dale’s paintings are full of color, energy and emotion. Dale said his work has been influenced by Van Gogh and Edward Munch, among other expressionists. “I incorporate both spiritual and personal issues into each piece that I paint,” Wicks said. He said he paints in response to the times and situations, such as the recent attacks on America. He was inspired to paint a piece he calls “The Touch,” which shows a person being comforted and filled with hope. Dale said he feels inspired when someone can see something in his painting that no one has seen before. Wicks said he wants his art to live and grow and for people to be able to relate to it. He and his family feel that their art is a journey of discovery that has often tried to bring forth new concepts and styling, independent of historical statements. “I want each person to take something away with them when they see my art,” Wicks said. Like Dale, Darnell and Rachel share a passion for art. Darnell enjoys a cubism style, and Rachel enjoys creating collages, painting figures, and using expressionism. Darnell's work influences are Peter Max and Picasso. Rachel said growing up with two creative parents has influenced her. The Wicks’ art can be seen in several places around the Bryan-College Station area. Dale said Inspirations, Quantum Cow, Texas Art Gallery and Soul Works Art Gallery — where he taught Dear Aggie, How is the Tv> a regular player student? !t turns out 11 A&M football te junior finance m people selected t the group of potc game, there can l !Man plays a ma jfield with reckle you do learn son Ask Aggie i question, mail OMING C it paints a very For students painting — all carry art by the Wicks’ famil; Dale’s work is also on display at Sweet Eugene House of Java.
