Oscar
Wilson is a well-known artist who made his mark as an artist in London in 1996.
His specialities include image creation, hand crafted typography and
illustration. I first came across his work through an advertisement I saw in the tube
station for TFL (Transport for London). An as I began to research him further I
found out that Oscar Wilson has produced work for a variety of high profile
clients with commissions from the world of advertisement such as fashion,
publishing TV and film.
He is also one of my inspirations; he inspired me to experiment with the use of text within an image, to form the same shape but using text. I have a great love for the font he has created I like the boldness and groovy characteristics of it, it also has a 60’s era feel, a visual description of what I mean would be (Austin Powers films).
My favourite piece from the selection of his work above would be the Iconic landmark London Tower Bridge (bottom right). This piece is an advert for (Totally London/www.visitlondon.com) within the image he has combined all the iconic places London is known for an used the words to form the bridge, a collaboration of visual an verbal. At first glance you may only see a bridge but then you discover within the text he has incorporated the heart of London.
