Win Wallace : Deference to Inevitability

Win Wallace

Win Wallace was born in South Carolina and is currently based in Lockhart, Texas. His recent practice focuses on pencil, conte and charcoal portraits, as well as ink drawings. Since high school, Wallace played in bands and made scores of flyers for underground punk and noise rock shows. Over the years, he made posters for bands like the Melvins, Neurosis, Sleep, Helios Creed, The Jesus Lizard, DMBQ, Animal Collective, Scratch Acid, The Dead Kennedys and many others. He moved to Austin in the mid 1990’s to study drawing at the University of Texas. His drawings are influenced by history, art history, dreams, nature and pathos. The fictional portraits illuminate the unique and ephemeral beauty of the individual as an integrated part of the natural world. Wallace has exhibited his work extensively in Texas, throughout the United States and internationally. Win draws every day.
