Timothy P. Wilson photographed by Greta Rybus for National Geographic
Maine based artist Timothy P. Wilson, works from direct painting on location and expands upon his studies in larger studio paintings. Both a meditative ritual and obsessive dedication, his daily outings in stormy, serene, and inclement weather to coastal Atlantic locations help inform an experiential vocabulary and expressionist mark making. After years of portrait and figurative work, Timothy merged his holistic concepts of the ocean, landscape and figure; aiming to find a more abstract and resonating image through the natural deconstruction of imagery.
Wilson received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008 and taught at the Maine College of Art. He has enjoyed residencies at the DeDee Shattuck Gallery in Westport, Massachusetts, the Hewnoaks Residency in Lovell, Maine, Hawkwood in Stroud, UK and was an Art Students League selected fellow at their Hudson Valley residence location.
Timothy Wilson has most recently been featured in National Geographic. His works are held in international private collections, have been exhibited in the US and Europe and are part of the Restoration Hardware Contemporary Art Collection.
