Will Wilson Art

American, b. 1957
Will Wilson (b. 1957, Baltimore, MD) completed his studies at the Schuler School of Fine Arts, Baltimore, MD, and the New York Academy of Art, New York, NY. He began exhibiting with the John Pence Gallery in 1980, where he had 15 solo shows. His paintings have been featured in numerous group exhibitions in galleries and museums across the United States and China. After working in San Francisco for over 20 years, Wilson relocated his studio to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Wilson utilizes traditional methods and symbolic references to create his realistic and satirical canvases, often embellished with trompe l’œil techniques. He explains, “The painting process is a journey and an act of discovery. Maybe it’s a muffled conversation with the subconscious. In the end, I hope the imagery will trigger some kind of personal, memorable experience in others.” Wilson’s works are represented in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, the National Postal Museum, the Seven Bridges Foundation, and the George Lucas and Lucas Film Collection, among others.
