PATRICK WILSON

"A master of color who isn’t shy about keying up the intensity level of brightness and saturation in his palette, Wilson builds up his compositions by using every conceivable size and proportion of rectangle to offset and highlight the other rectangles, with narrow gaps and outlines transformed into dynamic parts of the composition."

-Dan Cameron in "The Condition of Color"

PATRICK WILSON (b. 1970, Redding, CA) received his Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA and his Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Davis, CA.
