Artist Biography
The Multidisciplinary Vision of William T. Wiley
William Thomas Wiley was an American artist whose creative practice spanned a vast array of media. His work included drawing, painting, sculpture, film, performance, and even pinball. As a member of the faculty at the University of California, Davis, he taught students such as Bruce Nauman and Deborah Butterfield. His artistic output was characterized by a unique approach that some have referred to as funk art. Beyond the visual arts, Wiley was a singer and musician, collaborating with composer Efdemin on musical projects.
His diverse body of work has been featured in numerous prestigious venues, including the Venice Biennial and the Whitney Biennial. He was also a dedicated printmaker, collaborating with various companies such as Landfall Press and Crown Point Press. In addition to his visual and musical pursuits, he created limited edition art books in collaboration with Arion Press.
Technique and Artistic Legacy
Wiley's paintings are notable for their specific technique, often incorporating sketch-like drawings and handwritten notations. For example, his work Fan for the A.M. features areas of bright acrylic paint surrounded by drawings and writing in colored pencil. His sculptural work often involved metal fabrication, resulting in large-scale pieces such as The Tower of the No Bull Salvage, Gong, and Harp.
Throughout his career, Wiley received several honors, including:
His work is held in many significant collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Slide to your wall: every size keeps the proportions of the original.
Pick from our preset sizes that match the artwork's original proportions.
Type the width and the height you need, to fit your frame or your wall. A print can only be cut, never made bigger than the picture, so a size with a different shape loses a part of the image. We send you a digital mockup to approve before we print anything. The picture shown on this page does not show the real cut — only the mockup does.
