Neil Wood

Neil Wood is a British artist, writer, curator and graphic designer. Since the early nineteen eighties he has lived and worked in London, Paris and Brussels.

His art practise incorporates photography, writing and print-making; three media-threads that are constantly explored and remixed within carefully themed projects, often arriving at unexpected results through extreme changes of scale, focus and association.

In his writing, where language triggers alter meanings and provoke the irrational and the humourous, typography and text also exist to underscore a narrative flow and the potential building for the viewer of mental images while tangible sculptures emerge, alongside audio performances and videos.


He recently inaugurated a 50 metre mural work entitled
'Et Toi là, Attrape Ton Étoile' for the Paris Metro at the Charles de Gaulle Étoile hub in Paris.
