Working in the genre of documentary landscape photography, Marc Wilson embraces familiar locations, which are often raw, natural landscapes, that we are somehow drawn to. Whether it is Snowdonia in Wales; the old West Pier in Brighton or the Swiss Alps, Wilson explores what is so endearing about these recognizable sights. Is it the absence of human form, or the physical trace of human intervention? Wilson’s work allows the viewer to understand the vastness of the landscape and its natural power.

Working in the genre of documentary landscape photography, Marc Wilson embraces familiar locations, which are often raw, natural landscapes, that we are somehow drawn to. Whether it is Snowdonia in Wales; the old West Pier in Brighton or the Swiss Alps, Wilson explores what is so endearing about these recognizable sights. Is it the absence of human form, or the physical trace of human intervention? Wilson’s work allows the viewer to understand the vastness of the landscape and its natural power.
The journey to the body of work seen here has evolved through projects Wilson has developed over the last ten years, and has led to his continuing exploration of the landscapes that surround us. A common theme that seems to run through these landscapes is their abandonment by man, yet their ability to retain their beauty.
Born in London in 1968, Marc Wilson has exhibited his work widely. Exhibitions have included a group show at the Photographer’s Gallery, London; international shows in Milan, Grenoble and New York; the inaugural shows at the Back Hill and Now Showing Galleries, London; Art 2001 and Photo2005, London; The Association of Photographer’s Gallery and at the Focal Point gallery in Southend.
Wilson has also shown work with Hotshoe International Magazine; he was part of the recent PDN Photo-annual 2006 “A year in pictures”, and his work is represented through Getty images and other photo-libraries. Wilson works both as an artist and commercial photographer and often teaches photography as a visiting lecturer at degree level. He now lives in Bath, England.
