'Leopard' Painting

Neil Wood is a British artist, curator and graphic designer. Since the early nineteen eighties he has lived and worked in London, Paris and Brussels. His practise is divers and includes photography, customised print-making, poetry, typography, sculpture, sound installation and more recently, performance. He generates his art through experimentation, writing, selective appropriation and chance actions: he exploits chosen materials and objects and combines them with carefully identified narrative themes and semantic game-playing. His work freely spans the representational to the abstract, often challenging perceptions and arriving at unexpected results through extreme changes of scale or focus. He frequently incorporates language triggers to alter meanings and provokes the irrational and has played recorded voices as audio performances alongside his typographic works. 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. www.neilwoodart.com www.vimeo.com/neilwood
