Artist Statement:
Keith Wilson’s Architectural
paintings are icons dedicated
to an architecture that is no
longer conceived or
constructed. They represent
his continuous study of
architectural form. In his
work he uses building
structures and details in
playful juxtaposition,
allowing classical elements
and vernacular constructions
to have their own way,
proliferating variations. His
color is similarly the product
of memory and imagination,
inspired by the painted
buildings he has seen in Italy
and Greece. The result of
this graphic exploration is a
body of several hundred
paintings and drawings, in
which knowledge of historic
form, fantasies of buildings
that might be, and studies for
commissioned works are all
intermixed.
Recently he has been painting
landscapes of inspired by the
hills that are adjacent to the
UC Berkeley campus. The
original paintings are painted
with Chinese brushes using
sumi ink and watercolor mixed
with black water.
The artist is offering signed
limited edition prints of the
paintings from his private
collection. The printing
method employed has a very
high resolution which
reproduces the brilliance and
transparent qualities of the
original watercolor paintings
using permanent, archival ink
on 100% rag watercolor paper.
