That was the only drawback, though, and after some of his work was exhibited in his high school, Wilder “almost in stantly became recognized.” The positive feedback he was receiving became fuel for his creative efforts. When a senior he was granted a four year scholarship, but, unfortunately, his SAT scores were too low and the scholarship was withdrawn. After a stint in the Nhvy and a few defying the odds with realistic art commercial art jobs, Wilder came to Penn State. It was here he.encountered the second obstacle of his career.' ‘‘l " came into a lot of opposition here,” he said, mostly from professors who were telling him that abstract art is the ac ceptable form, not realism. Wilder stuck to his guns, though, and with the help of professor Richard Mayhew, who specializes in painting, has managed to make a name' for' himself in the University art department. Wilder’s emphasis in ’ his work is people and Christianity. He is black and he is an artist, but he does not paint exclusively African pieces. “I paint just people. They just happen to be black or white,” he said: Wilder’s orientation is definitely black because of his Afro- American background. Yet he paints faces and expressions, not racial origins. But beyond those faces Wilder has found something deeper: through Christianity he’s become an expressive and perceptive person. And it’s these qualities that have made Wilder the fine artist he is today. NIGHT * r NAUTILUS Thursday Bpm - 12 pm r Your Nauh'los i ■■i'.' 1 .'i!
