The result is contemporary and complex landscape work with an enamel-like quality.

Subject matter and use of colour come from Wood’s own emotional response to the way he sees the landscape of a particular place; having always lived near the coast, the themes of harbors, rivers and coastline are often present. The result is contemporary and complex landscape work with an enamel-like quality.
Wood sees his influences coming from artists such as John Virtue, Howard Hodgkin, Cy Twombly, and Gary Hume.
Born in Taunton, Somerset in 1979, Wood studied at both Coventry and Falmouth School of Art, and has shown his work in a number of group shows throughout the country. He currently works at The Curwen Studio, Cambridge, one of the most respected printmaking studios in the UK.
