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
