omer Wells is not your traditional landscape painter. He begins with a sheet of aluminum, which he burnishes and grinds away at with a series of tools. Then he airbrushes on layer after layer of translucent, shimmering automotive paint, in blues, greens and purples, and suddenly there is a vivid seascape. Waves crash and clouds dip down to melt above the horizon, or in his more abstract works, liquid runs in close-up currents. Even after all that motion and excitement what is remarkable about Wells’ work is what goes on after it is done: Depending on the angle of the viewer and the light at a given time — especially when hung outdoors — the piece splashes out to the viewer in a totally HMǺIVIRX [E] JVSQ WYRVMWI XS WYRWIX

I always thought of myself as a sculptor.” In 2009, Wells, with a group of partners including Ben Cohen (of Ben and Jerry’s), created a giant kinetic sculpture — part light show, part carnival ride — that he then drove across the country to the Burning Man Festival in the California desert. What he liked about bringing the piece to Burning Man was how “everyone is there to help each other’s project be better.

The seats, Wells said, “were Bolton ski lift chairs. Ten revolutions of the wheels would make one revolution of this middle part, and it was just like with a ski lift: We could let somebody out and have just the time to put somebody in, so we never had to stop.” Comparing Burning Man to the Rainbow Festival, which he attended this year in Southern Vermont, Wells said, “Burning Man’s ethos is radical self SEE WELLS ON PAGE 5

Instead of the normal recital routine, which attracts mostly family and close friends, she wanted the show to appeal to a broad audience.
