Based in Boulder, Colorado, American abstract painter Will Day is renowned for his large-scale, deeply tactile compositions filled with vibrant color and energetic movement. After his wife survived the events of September 11, 2001, Day left a finance career to study architecture at the PRATT Institute—a transition that deeply shaped his artistic style. Today, his practice blends "architectural impulsivity" with physical, expressive construction. Working on multiple pieces at once, he rolls unprimed raw canvas onto his studio floor, building complex layers of oil and acrylic that explore the raw nuances of the human experience.

For Day, abstraction is an intuitive, physical journey to capture a story in the immediate moment. A former athlete, his process begins with a single mark and evolves into a dynamic struggle with his materials until a powerful composition emerges. A TEDx speaker whose work has been featured in FORBES and LUXE Magazine, Day’s monumental paintings are held in collections worldwide, projecting the sublime power of color and form.
