Artist Stuart Mel Wilson describes his practice as 'chaotic' and connects this to his dyslexic condition. Wilson discusses the reason he uses the craft of drawing as a visual language, as it can communicate deep concepts in a more digestible way. Wilson explains how using specific materials can be an act of rebellion, a way of pushing against the art establishment. In this conversation Wilson dives into his thoughts on the impact of internet on art, he highlights the continued relevance of ‘the Social Contract’, and also shares some insightful advice to aspiring artists in their practice. The conversation with Wilson is rich and exhilarating!
