WESLEY KIMLER



"About the Shark, phlegmatical one,
Pale sot of the Maldive sea,"

...................the Shark (aka Wesley Kimler) was born to the Great White Shark Mrs. Clean, a seven ton behemoth at Maintop Bay Farrallon Islands any number of years ago: today, Wesley is a painter/provocateur, and personal chef to any number of demanding, difficult birds, making somewhat disturbing painterly behemoths, working out of a studio that consists of two massive bays of the Goodman Theatre's scenic shop in the western Fulton Market industrial corridor here in Chicago.

The Shark - 'Le Grand Requin du' Blanc,' is co-founder and creative director of SHARKFORUM, an environment both exotic and, by incident; the detritus that eddies and pools, stirred by the straw that is a five foot dorsal fin.
