Biographie.
Neil Wood is a British artist, curator and graphic designer, born in London in 1963. He trained at Middlesex University and Canterbury School of Art & Design in the United Kingdom and since the early nineties has lived and worked in London and Paris.
His practise is divers and includes photography, customized print-making, writing, typography, sculpture, sound installation and more recently, performance. Wood generates his art through instinctive experimentation, selective appropriation and the deliberate use of chance: he exploits the random and physical properties of materials and natural phenomena and combines this process with carefully identified narrative themes and semantic game-playing.
His work spans the representational to the abstract, often challenging perceptions and arriving at unexpected results through extreme changes of scale or focus. In the past, he has incorporated language triggers to alter meanings and provoke the irrational, while recently, he has played recorded voices as audio revealers to his tightly set typographic pieces.
Neil Wood is represented by Ampersand House & Gallery, Brussels.
