Artist Statement

 By capturing absurd daily moments and blurring the line between memory and experience, the artist immerses us in a world of extravagant detail and exuberant poses. Wilson’s work radiates debauchery and decadence, welcoming viewers into a realm where wild imagination reigns. In a way, he wants the viewer to become part of the art as an added component; art should be entertaining and fun—to be able to feel and interact with the work is very important.

Constantly applying thick, tactile textures and unconventional colors, Wilson breathes life into the subjects, infusing each portrait with an electrifying vitality that invites the audience to feel the rhythm and intensity of the festivities. By incorporating elements of mixed media, while predominantly relying on oil, he skillfully enhances the visual experience, offering a rich tapestry of emotions and narratives within each composition and masterfully capturing the essence of chaos, dynamism, and vivacious creation. The pieces are always inviting you to revel in their tumultuous presence.
