Paul Wackers, Generators, 2016, acrylic on canvas, 72 x 60 inches, Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, Executive Suite at 700 Welch. Donated by Bruce and Elizabeth Dunlevie. "Generators" is a classic example of Paul Wackers’ signature style—blending abstraction together with figurative painting. Against a dense background of foliage, we see shelves of everyday objects alongside colorful bursts or squiggles. According to an artist statement, Wackers “makes objects and paintings to try to understand what they are, what they mean, and how to understand them. Many of the subjects are things that seem very familiar, but through the process of painting or sculpture become confused or unreal because of the associations created within the picture.”
