Angus Wilson was born and raised in Scotland and has lived in numerous cities throughout Britain. Originally attending art college in the disciplines of photography, film, and animation, Angus pursued a career in television and video, as well as the computer entertainment market. However in 2004, with growing popularity in his work, Angus made the decision to pursue his fine art career full time. In lighter moments he jokes that his skills have ‘regressed', from cutting edge multi-million dollar computer graphic animation projects to merely pushing paint around a canvas! However there's nothing ‘mere' about the artists work. It is reminiscent of many great post-impressionists, such as Matisse and Cezanne, however there's a contemporary underpinning that gives his work a powerful kick of originality justifying his growing success and loyal following. In 2007 Angus relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, he works mainly in oil and acrylic. He has been and continues to be involved in numerous shows, displaying work internationally. His work is collected and held by museums, corporations and collectors worldwide. "When people view my work they are struck by the bold strokes and strong use of color. Certainly my first response is to color and light, I then find ways to enhance this response. I'm drawn to subjects through nuance and often quite subtle lighting effects, however this is simply a starting point for my creative process. Though initially I work quite closely with my subject, I progressively move away from the source, choosing instead to focus on the canvas itself."
