Thomas Wilson's practice strikes a balance between a traditionalist approach to creation, studying the paintings of old masters and referencing art history, with the exploration of modern day themes and consumerism. For many years he was the director of Edinburgh's Open Eye Gallery but throughout he maintained his practice outside working hours and has exhibited in many galleries worldwide including the Richard Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh; Galerie Tendenz, Sindelfingen, Germany; the National Museum of Fine Arts,Valetta, Malta; The Royal Institute of Fine Arts; and The Royal Scottish Academy. His practice reveals the love of drawing he found at the age of 16 which has been nourished through his travels and admiration of his surroundings ever since.
