A Seamless Transition Mixed-Media Artist, Stephen Wilson, takes Luxury to a New Level .
I
t’s been one busy year for Stephen Wilson – and he shows no signs of slowing down. From coast to coast, the mixed-media artist has shared his artwork, engaged with art lovers and audiences and participated in solo, duo and group exhibitions. Known for his artistic exploration and blending of traditional craft and contemporary culture, it’s his one-of-a-kind style that captures the eye of passers-by and professionals, alike. This summer, the artist headed to the Hamptons to take part in Market + Design and Traditional Home Magazine’s Hampton Designer Showhouse.
From Dior to Dolce & Gabbana ), the artist brings color and texture to life all yearround.
Model tapestries (Wrecking Ball, Candy’s Room, In the Flesh, Run Like Hell, Young Lust, Home Again)
With roots in the fashion industry, which he considers to be his original medium and primary inspiration, Stephen has a background in embroidery and technology. From pants to pillows to paint and photo, he says what transforms something into fine art is the message. Along with creating loud, layered and large-scale pieces, he recycles designer fashion boxes into works of art and re-defines luxury consumerism, the power of a label. Tying together street art and the contemporary scene, every celebrated box tells an individual story. Described as a deconstruction of his established Luxury Series, the buy and bring home collection is perfect for vacationers.
