Prayers, echoes, dreams.

Everything is moving, all the time. Mostly, our eyes filter out what they can’t fix in space and time. But just because we don’t see something, that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Wagner’s whisper paintings are an extended calligraphy, broken to match the dreamtime. Instead of holding to continuous lines, they shatter like schools of fish, yielding a collection of whisperings. Free-floating prayers waft across the canvas, reminding us suddenly of moments we keep forgetting: those vivid cracks in time when the ground shifts under us and we pray, to what or whom doesn’t matter.

These oil paintings capture a profoundly human language, spoken but silent, that transcends and echoes through space. Deceptively multidimensional, they keep challenging the viewer to return for another glimpse of an elusive, yet intimately familiar, world.


“It’s like looking out at the Palisade in New Jersey across the Hudson: when the sun hits at a certain angle, you can see all the pollen and lint floating in the air. Just for a moment, you catch a glimpse of a parallel world.”
