A pictorial strength of Will Yackulic’s is finding strangeness in the familiar. His small-scale paintings, done mostly in a single sitting, embrace an immediate, observational approach to painting through deftly rendered moments of daily life.

Yackulic's recent paintings are a departure from the work he is known for: highly detailed and formal sculpture, drawings and paintings marked by an abundance of time. Reaching middle age, raising a child and caring for elderly parents makes the passage of time very apparent. Paintings previously done as meditations in between projects struck Yackulic as something he could develop into a practice. He began taking pictures of light and situations that struck him while going about his day. The resulting two works were produced while living in Sweden and upon his return to the U.S.

Will Yackulic was born in New York City and lives and works in Berkeley, California.
