Belinda Wilson Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1954 -

My work usually involves people in all walks of life.

I am interested in their gestures.

The way a body is sprung and expresses emotion. The way a body holds the impulse of the next movement already in it. Contained gesture.

Their spirit, the movement in their bodies, their relationship to one another and to their surroundings – the mood held in their gestures.

What they seem to be saying to each other, who they are, what perhaps they are thinking.

Lately I have been watching people’s relationship with their animals.

Watching the dance between them, the checking in, the projection. it is largely a non verbal relationship.

The wordlessness is the best thing. Just a marvelling, a tenderness, a connection.

These things catch my attention and make me want to paint them and the rest comes with the paint.
