The stylized canvas on which an artist creates may vary in size
and scope, but one thing is for sure, Calgary artist Wil Yee's
penchant for creating colorful innovative art, stretches the
boundaries of this non-conventional artist.
Drawing up intricate designs on his I-Pad, Wil creates designs
that he can use on multiple levels of art that eventually
live on either a 2 or 3 dimensional surface.
(Wil Yee) I'll draw on just about on and anything and but
right now and I'm using a tablet and technology and it works as
my sketchbook.
With technology you can simulate a lot of different things it
just it helps production wise as well as it's convenient and
efficient.
What I've learned and experienced in my life I want
kind of to share that and have you know others kind of have
that same comfort level of sharing and expressing
themselves.
>>The essence of Public art lies in its accessibility.
With Wil, accessibility starts with the creation of
relationships and inspiration.
(Wil) It's an organic process it's a learning process and I
think that's a part of public art that behind-the-scenes is
that there are people engaging in creating relationships to try
and produce something that will translate to like such a broad
diverse audience I Spy, I think that was a game that we all
hopefully played when we were little kids, like I spy with my
little eye, you just try and play that game all the time,
what do I see what do I spy, what do others spy.
What influences them, what inspires them because inspires
them is probably most likely going to inspire me.
>>In the process of expanding his repertoire as an artist, Wil
began to stretch his art from a hard canvas to a malleable one a
few years back, and is now apprenticing and creating
artwork on a very personal level.
(Wil) I stumbled on to public art and I just stumbled on to
tattooing I was doing a mural at my friend's tattoo shop, and the
project took me a few weeks and those few weeks I spent hanging
out with these awesome group of artists it's been really a big
honor to have been let into the tattoo art community one of the
things that the art has taught me and every kind of time I
stumble on to something I have to unlearn things about other
aspects and because new rules apply.
It's a interesting learning process I did I did this on
myself during my apprenticeship.
Definitely took me to a no fun zone for a little bit.
No, I think it was it was a very valuable lesson for me.
What I've learned and experienced in my life I want
kind of to share that and have you know others kind of have
that same comfort level of sharing and expressing
themselves.
>>When speaking with Wil about what he does, the words play,
create and share become defining words for his view on his
vocation.
All these words explain why he gravitates toward working with
youth, providing an outlet for them to experience the craft of
expressing themselves on a large scale.
One instance was in Edmonton in 2013, another was Fort McMurray
the previous year.
(Wil) Working with the students that were part of this
extracurricular art class, they wanted to volunteer and they
wanted to be hands-on they wanted to hang out and paint on
a wall and create something and contribute to this project that
was geared to beautify their community and was also a pilot
project for spring boarding more public art interest within the
community.
It was really fun just to see them helping create it was it
was quite the project for myself at that time as well as
coordinating with the community and the students.
>>Generally art, especially public art, has it's fans and
detractors, but for artists like Wil Yee, no matter the canvas,
art makes way for some much needed dialogue and engagement.
(Wil) You can't satisfy everyone, everyone's got such
different tastes and flavors and know what is art what and you
know as boring as it sounds about where our funds are going
where our taxpayers community funds are going for public
artists we just have to kind of educate the general public we're
not trying to screw anyone over piss anyone off we're just
trying to like play with color images and engage, engage the
community, ya know when you see, I spy you know, play the game.
