104: Willehad Eilers

When you enter the website of Willehad Eilers, aka Wayne Horse, you are greeted with a message that reads "80.000.000 Hooligans." What does it mean? Does it matter? Because whatever you see in the works of Wayne Horse is an entry point to a bizarro world that is a bit ghoulish and a full of debauchery. What started as a career in graffiti has evolved into highly-detailed, intense works that have both an element of play but also depictions of glorified hedonism. You know, the good stuff. As a forthcoming solo show with Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels in April, Doug Gillen sits down with Mr. Horse to discuss the evolution of his work over the past few years, from cheeky experimentation to some of the most sought after paintings in the game. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 104 was recorded in February 2023 in London and the Netherlands.
