Brent Wadden (born 1979, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a painter whose practice centers on fiber, specifically wool and yarn.[1] His work has been compared to that of Sheila Hicks, Anni Albers, and Clyfford Still.[2][3]
Life and work
Wadden completed his B.F.A. at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2003, where he studied under the late conceptualist painter Gerald Ferguson.[4]
Known for making abstract geometric weavings with unpredictable graphic lines that reject any predetermined systems, he hopes that they "create some amount of confusion in the viewer which would lead to a fascination with the process."
The artist's first solo museum exhibition took place in 2018 at Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver.[4] His work has also been exhibited at Columbus College of Art and Design, the Rubell Family Collection, Saatchi Gallery, Peres Projects, and the Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada.[citation needed]
