Relevant Artist Research – Richard Wilson

Posted on Updated on

I saw Wilson’s 20:50 piece in the Saatchi Gallery down in London a few years ago, ever since I’ve always had this urge to go big with my art. Knowing that Wilson’s 20:50 is only a few inches deep and is only an illusion to make the room look completely full of oil, I’m still in awe of how this piece hit me, showing me how such little can be used to make something so big. I’ve taken this concept and aimed to apply it to my own work, the whole “less is more”, but applying it to the materials in my work, trying to use as little material as I can to gain the affect I desire.
