Biography
Angus Wilson was born and raised in Scotland and has lived in numerous
cities throughout the UK, as well as spending a period of time working in
California. He has worked as a professional artist for over eighteen years,
however his work has been varied and few would say his path to a fine art career
was by a traditional route. Originally attending art college in the disciplines
of photography, film and animation, Angus then pursued a career in television
and video, as well as the computer entertainment market.
Angus Worked as a director, producer,
editor, and animator. During this period his traditional painting functioned as
a sideline. However in 2004, with growing popularity in his work, Angus made the
decision to pursue his fine art career full-time.
Angus has been involved in numerous
shows and has displayed work internationally. He has recently relocated to the
San Francisco Bay Area. He works mainly in oil and acrylic, but also enjoys
watercolor.
Artist's Statement
I have a strong passion in the painting
of Still Life subjects. I love the relative simplicity of the objects I choose
to paint, the simple, clean shapes and colors of fruit, vases, bowls, etc. Even
within such simple subjects so much is portrayed of my style, passion, and
technique. Whether working with brush, pencil, or knife every painter leaves
their unique marks on the canvas. These identify the artist, allowing
recognition of their work, providing a roadmap for the viewer on how the artist
paints.
Even at the very base level of these
'simple' Still Life subjects, the fingerprints and identity of my art can be
witnessed. From the very first moment when I choose which object to use and what
to discard; where to place them and how to light the arrangement, I can exert
both freeing and a constant source of inspiration, simply by varying how I
present and arrange the objects. I can paint these groupings tirelessly with a
combination of new arrangements, different lighting conditions, perhaps an
alternate setting or a different point of view; each painting as fresh and new
as its predecessor.
I enjoy the adaptation of color and it's
manipulation within the work, often not holding true to what colors I see before
me, but choosing to enhance or alter these to lift the mood or theme and greater
reflect the paintings whole. Much of my original influence for a painting is
often drawn from the play of light and shadow across the arrangement, or the
strength of a key color within the scene and it's effect across the grouping. I
try to paint quickly, but methodically keeping my original vision always at the
forefront of my mind. Sometimes however, this can evolve as the painting
continues and take me in a new and exciting direction before the painting's
completion.
