Career and work

[edit]

Wallace uses a variety of media and materials in his works, some of which include: oil paint, enamel, acrylic paint, pigment, cold wax, canvas, linen, rubber, aluminum, and fiberglass.[3] In a feature on Wallace for The East Hampton Star, Jennifer Landes wrote, "His paintings are amalgamations. . . He has an indirect way of including painting in the work. He might place found material, such as dropcloths or old curtains from his house, on the floor of his studio to collect drops and splatters from work in progress on the wall, or find other ways of introducing it."[4]

Wallace's paintings, works on paper, installations and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries, museums and institutions across North America and Europe.[5] He has participated in group exhibitions at institutions such as the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art, Portland; Artists Space, New York; and, V1 Gallery, Copenhagen.[1] His work can be found in the public collections of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence; Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Schwartz Collection, Harvard Business School, Cambridge; and, The Watermill Center, Watermill, among others.[6]
