In 19th century poet and playwright Oscar Wilde’s often-cited essay, “The Decay of Lying,” the famous Irish writer argued that “life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” “Life holds the mirror up to art, and either reproduces some strange type imagined by painter or sculptor, or realizes in fact what has been dreamed in fiction,” Wilde wrote in 1891. “Life seizes on them and uses them, even if they be to her own hurt.”
Over 100 years later, Wilde’s words ring true as Atlanta artist DvDx (pronounced David X) faces a new reality that’s eerily similar to the central theme of his recently released project, The Irreplaceable Now.
