I love the relative simplicity of the objects I choose to paint, the simple, clean shapes and colors of fruit, vases, bowls and yet within such simple subjects so much is portrayed of my style, passion and technique. Every painter leaves their marks on the canvas, it’s impossible to hide, whether with brush, pencil or knife, we can always see the artist and recognize their work with how he or she paints. Even at the very base level of these ‘simple’ subjects, the fingerprints and identity of the artist can be witnessed.
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 his entire career, 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.
