Meet Mercurial Materials Artist Victor Wilde

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:26:25 GMT

Artist and fashion designer Victor Wilde is inspired by the potential of mercurial materials as he applies a process of scavenge, salvage, destruction, reconfiguration, redemption, appropriation, and transformation to the vast inventory of textiles, faux pelts, parachutes, used and vintage garments, accessories, street posters, fashion district tchotchkes, paints, purloined street posters, flags, model weapons, flamethrowers, polymers, and more that fills his DTLA studio. He applies this post-punk creative mode equally to clothing and fine art, believing the two to have in fact always been inextricable.
