Clive Wilson

Faces are how we recognise each other and how we express ourselves. Our entire world is connected by faces.

In my paintings, I have been exploring different ways of portraying faces and most recently, expressing emotional situations through facial expressions and silent interaction between the people depicted on the canvas.

Loosely based on self-portraits the interactions come from within myself, but are equally applicable to others. I want to draw people in so they are left wondering what has happened here, what is going on and what will happen in the future?

I am self-taughy and have no formal education in art. I did not start painting until 2001.
