Joe Wilson
Leicester-born Joe Wilson studied at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, Graduating with a bachelor of arts degree in Graphic Arts and Design in 2007. After a lifetime of drawing and doodling Joe became serious about being an artist at an early age and has left himself 'no other option'. Joe took an interest in printmaking at university and studied this heavily in his final year, with a great deal of his work taking the form of screen prints and etchings. This forms the foundation of his work today, although since finishing university and leaving the print facilities, other ways of creating similar effects have had to be employed. Joe's work consists of painstakingly detailed, hand-drawn illustrations, usually in fine-line pen or pencil, that are then scanned and edited on the mac.
Joe Wilson takes his influence from an array of sources including old engravings, 70s Vinyl covers and surrealist art. He is particularly interested in ideas of evolution, space, and complex constructions.
