Appreciation towards Wilfrid Wood providing the following description:

来自英国的年轻设计师/艺术家Wilfrid Wood的系列作品headbuilder。他出身于1968年的伦敦，在乡下长大，后来从圣马丁大学的平面设计专业毕业。毕业后的工作有些是枯燥的，有些又是有趣的，比如这个形形色色的头像系列。

Wilfrid Wood现在在伦敦东区Hackney Wick专注做雕塑,这地因伦敦奥运会的契机而被熟知。这些雕塑尺度不大，制作认真，一般是用粘土和树脂做出基本的形态，然后用喷枪上色。他的作品幽默而美丽，活灵活现仿佛会说话。Wilfrid Wood不在作品中强加什么意识形态，只是按照心意自然表达。这些人类或动物或字体的抽象头像由各种鬼灵的形状平衡的组合在一起。Wilfrid Wood喜欢的创作家有Jeff Koons， Pierre et Gilles， Takashi Murakami 以及一些自学成才的艺术家比如Henry Darger,，Sultan Rogers和Johann Hauser。

“ I was born in 1968 in London, grew up in the English countryside then studied graphic design at Central St. Martins. After graduating I had several dull jobs in publishing but also worked at the satirical TV programme Spitting Image as a ‘headbuilder’. This involved making various puppets such as Rolf Harris and two headed fish.

I now make sculpture in a once obscure part of East London called Hackney Wick, which has suddenly become known because the Olympics is being staged there.

My work is usually small scale and carefully finished. Its made of polymer clay and resin, then painted using an airbrush.

I enjoy inventing individuals that could be part of a narrative, but its the viewer’s job to make that story up. I hope my work is both humourous and beautiful. I want my characters speak for themselves. I don’t have any concepts, just suggestions. Recently the direction of my work has been somewhat more flat and graphic, shapes balancing on top of each other to make faces.

I’m inspired by friends, faces, beautiful bodies, fat bodies, hairy bodies, animals, fashion, toys, cartoons, contortionists, freaks, animals, transvestites, sport, Bears, lettering. I love Jeff Koons, Pierre et Gilles, Takashi Murakami and self-taught artists such as Henry Darger, Sultan Rogers, and Johann Hauser. ”
