WATERWORKS

Arch Enemy Arts presents WATERWORKS by Casey Weldon, a series of eight new tongue-in-cheek paintings driven by the artist’s moodier impulses, leading him to explore subjects he’s never tackled before. Weldon’s work is immediately disarming. His style of polished realism, glowing neon-infused softness, steep angled shadows, and absurd combinations create images that are surreal, striking, and magnetic. And this show—his first solo feature with the gallery—is no exception.

On the surface, WATERWORKS is a show about tears. But Weldon presents a confrontational type of sadness filled with complexity. Themes of anger, madness, and isolation well up under the surface in work that leans more psychological horror than tragic melodrama. It's a show for the times, and we are blown away by each and every piece.

Weldon began showing with Arch Enemy Arts in 2018, and his work has appeared in eight group shows to-date, thus we are ecstatic to present WATERWORKS, his first solo exhibition with the gallery.
