Like a wave, Weiler paintings strike you fast, strong, and totally unpredictable. Colors fight and dance across the canvas in a wild ballet. Though at first look all seems random, there is an odd rhythm underneath everything. Thick paint layers give the surface a rough, somewhat sculptural impression. From a respectable distance, this style of work encourages you to stoop in and examine closely. Start here

Ignorance of the texture is impossible. Paint strokes bold enough to sit up above the canvas resemble scars from some creative conflict. Smooth, mixed sections collide with sharp edges. The way the textures interact creates nearly physical push and pull tension. Your angle will affect how light catches these elevated surfaces, which will cause the colors to alter as you travel. It is alive in a manner not possible for flat paintings.

Colour selections are not at all safe. While gentle pastels bleed into severe black, deep blues could sit next to an amazing orange streak. Though that discomfort is deliberate, some combinations feel startling, almost unpleasant. It generates energy and pushes your eye around the canvas in search of equilibrium. That’s the point; sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not. It is kept interesting by that edge-of- pandemonium sensation.

All of it is driven by emotional undercurrent. Quick, forceful strokes point to urgency or frustration. Slower, more polished portions seem more introspective. Some sections seem almost aggressive, as if the artist was trying to pull something off the canvas. Other parts seem peaceful, even delicate. The way these moods conflict gives the painting complexity. You are feeling something, not only staring at colors and forms. Even if you find it difficult to name.

There are flaws in the narrative. a flash of color where it wasn’t supposed to be. a rough area where the paint dried not quite uniformly. These are proof of the process, not errors. The artist is not trying to cover the effort that put into it. One can observe the hand behind the brush, the instantaneous decisions taken. Though chaotic and raw, that is what gives it human quality.

Weiler painting offers no simple solutions. It is not aimed at being appealing or approachable. Some days it seems like anarchy; other days it seems like clarity. It reflects back all you offer. That is the reason it stays with you. It is demanding to be sensed, not to be comprehended.
