About the Item

This abstract mixed‑media painting by Will Hutnick, Fruit Fly, is a richly layered contemporary painting that exemplifies the artist’s distinctive approach to landscape, texture, and queer ecological thinking. The painting features Hutnick’s signature idiographic marks, fragmented impressions, and tactile surfaces, created through his unique combination of acrylic, graphite and wax pastel on canvas. These materials build a dynamic, topographical field that shifts between geometric patterning and hazy, organic forms. In this work, Hutnick constructs what he describes as “topographical relics” — abstracted terrains that merge sensory experience, memory, and place. These elements create a dynamic interplay and organic impression. Hutnick’s layered abstractions, built through pattern and improvisational mark making, generate a sense of movement that feels both bodily and architectural. His compositions hum with energy, revealing structures that emerge, dissolve, and reassemble in real time. Hutnick’s process, as articulated in his statement, begins with rubbings and impressions taken from personal and found objects — “milk crates from my late father’s car or the wooden walls of my studio in Sharon, Connecticut” — which he adapts into printmaking‑like gestures using rollers, black paint, and raw canvas. In Fruit Fly, these idiographic marks appear as fragmented grids, hazy silhouettes, and glitch‑like patterns that hover between representation and abstraction. Botanical forms, a recent addition to his vocabulary, introduce timestamped traces of specific environments, contributing to the work’s sense of queer ecology and lived landscape. The resulting composition feels simultaneously architectural and atmospheric, a speculative map where internal logics “slowly unravel if you let them.” Fruit Fly embodies Hutnick’s interest in the poetics of fragmentation — images on the edge of visibility that invite multiple readings: constellations, memory maps, or imagined futurities. Will Hutnick received his MFA from Pratt Institute and his BA from Providence College. He has exhibited widely, including solo and group exhibitions at McDonough Museum of Art and the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Wassaic Project, and Collar Works among others. Hutnick has been awarded numerous residencies, including Soaring Gardens Artists’ Retreat, Yaddo, Vermont Studio Center, Wassaic Project, and Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency by Collar Works. Hutnick’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Hyperallergic, New American paintings, Upstate Diary, Chronogram and ArtNet to name a few. His professional career included dozens of curatorial projects, public speaking engagements and lectures. Hutnick was the Co Director of Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn and is currently the Director of Artistic Programming at Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY.
