About the Show
On My Gay Wizard Shit is a series of paintings by Danielle Wogulis exploring themes of power, nature, the human body, and fantasy. Danielle is building on her collage work from the past 5 years, breathing life into existing small-scale pieces by transforming them into large paintings. The paintings are homages to the lush sensuality of botanical forms, or glimpses of worlds that are quietly tumultuous. Some are imaginative moments of drama, for which the viewer is free to construct their own narrative. Danielle mixes and matches anatomical and botanical elements into psychological landscapes from a perspective that is queer, whimsical, and (she hopes) has a touch of magic.
Second Saturday Reception: September 9, 5-8pm
Artist Talk: September 23, 4pm
About the Artist
Danielle Wogulis is a two-dimensional artist based in Sacramento, California. She primarily works in oil and acrylic paint, as well as collage and cut paper. She explores the human body as a site of expression, using figurative and botanical subjects to find the dreamlike in the mundane: sinister plants, inanimate objects that evoke a sense of ritualistic symbolism, etc. She’s interested in the absurdity and tension created by the inseparability of our corporeal realities and our knowledge of the world and ourselves.
Danielle earned her Bachelor of Arts in Painting at University of California, Santa Barbara and she studied at the University of Leeds in the UK. She is currently Vice President of Axis Gallery.
