The G Gallery in the Heights presents the exhibition Bill Hailey: Who the F*ck Knows Anything?, on view October 2 through October 30. Opening Reception Saturday, October 2.
Painting and Buddhism are old friends and sometimes they go out partying. Once Painting told Buddhism he remembers visiting his grandmother as she lay in an elaborate gold bed, in a mansion with vast tall ceilings and dusty gold curtains.
Painting was five years old and his mother was whispering, holding his grandmother’s hand. Painting was staring at a television image of a tall tree falling while his grandmother lay dying of bone cancer. It is the first visual memory Painting has and he can still see the tree falling silently to the forest floor over and over again.
Buddhism smiles at Painting with eyes glistening and says: “Exactly so. Who the f*ck knows anything? The precious teacup is already broken and the wind is in the trees.”
Maybe it happened that way – maybe it didn’t. If you tell me this is how it happened I’ll tell you I made it up.
Bill Hailey has always blurred the line between painting and drawing, with his strong emphasis on sensation and sensibilities, combining elements of gestural abstraction, drawing, and writing in a highly idiosyncratic and potent expression. At once epic and intimate, his work is infused with words, names, and references to poetry, mythology, and history
Bill Hailey currently lives and works in Austin, Texas.
