John Wilton
Like many artists of his generation, John Wilton chooses to find poetic, even epic qualities in the ordinary aspects of contemporary life. The intent is to transform the accustomed into the unusual, giving the viewer a sense of the complex visual possibilities of the everyday world. His paintings, sculpture and mixed-media works layer images from mass culture with hand-painted and digital passages, replicating the sensory overload we experience in our media-driven age.
