Pamela Wilson

Pamela Wilson

''Much like Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and other Northern Renaissance artists who were obsessed with inserting symbolic clues into a composition to case deciphering a painting's message, Wilson conveys, in sobering detail, the descriptive elements of an individual, one whose very dress echoes the apparently bizarre qualities of their personality. Both location and dress magnify the impression that her subjects are more lost souls than active participants in the real world.

In her paintings, Pamela Wilson struggles with the mysteries of the human experience. She builds on associations, friendships, and memories from the distant past as well as present day. With her current exhibition, Pamela Wilson returns to the gallery where she began her career as a professional artist fifteen years ago.''
