Silent Majority opening in Mobile
The opening for my "Silent Majority" painting exhibit at Wellborn Ideas in Mobile AL was a total and complete success!!! It took place during their monthly Art Walk, so there was a TON of folks there! I also had the pleasure of seeing many old friends and my family (I'm from Mobile), along with meeting a lot of great folks for the 1st time!

HERE is the facebook invite and below is a description of the show :
Paul Cordes Wilm's art has been dubbed
"Folk-Pop", but “You won’t see much folk in it,” says Wilm. “These
pieces are more pop. There’s a little edge of sarcastic humor to them.
This collection has political stuff and focuses on issues that I’ve
never explored before.”
According to Wilm, the pieces focus on the immediate environment of Alabama. “People have things to say, but they’re so distracted they feel they can’t say anything. They feel interrupted.”
The interruptions Wilm refers to are junk mail and forced consumerism, and these are on display with advertisements torn and collaged into many of the pieces. “In this day and age with things like Google and Wikipedia, people are used to having everything completely explained to them. It’s taking away our ability to explore things without ready-made answers and definitions.”
Many of the works contain censor bars over the eyes of the subject while others have empty quote bubbles above their heads. One piece could easily belong in a ’50s cartoon with people dressed in luxury clothing protesting with a large, blank sign. Wilm’s pieces are painted with leftover house paint on reclaimed or found wood.
“I want my work to be affordable for people,” says Wilm, whose pieces in this collection range from $75 – $500.
