Management is presenting the visceral paintings of German, Amsterdam-based artist Willehad Eilers, also known by his pseudonym Wayne Horse. Eilers began his artistic journey in the German graffiti scene before studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, developing an eclectic practice rooted in drawing, painting and video that explores cultural and political behaviors with lyrical humor and expressiveness. Rendered in bloody, bodily tones, both his more intuitive works on paper and his more articulated oil paintings weave a personal mythology that dives deep into the abysses of the psyche, unearthing the most suppressed impulses, desires and obsessions. Here too we find a typically Freudian tension between Eros and Thanatos, translated into a symbolic language of archetypes closer to Northern European mythology and its grotesque figurative tradition. With prices ranging from $4,100 to $15,000, the booth sold out early, mostly to collectors from New York or L.A.
