Dale Krause works under the name VILD, creating pieces that sit somewhere between instinct and intention. His work often begins without a fixed plan, guided instead by small observations - objects, textures, or moments that feel slightly out of place.

His visual language is shaped by a mix of influences, including tattoo culture, early experiences with graffiti, and the DIY energy of the skateboarding scene. What began as sneaking out to tag trains and under-bridges eventually evolved into larger-scale murals and commissioned work, while illustration and design continue to inform his approach to composition and linework.

Rather than forcing a clear meaning, he allows each piece to develop until it settles on its own terms. The result is a body of work that feels familiar at first but shifts the longer it’s experienced.

VILD serves as a space for that process - where simple ideas are followed far enough to become something else.
