“Illusion” by John Wilson - Reverse Perspective Exhibition

To celebrate Queens Birthday weekend The Little Gallery Whangamata are excited to welcome British born Artist John Wilson with his exhibition “Illusion”. Here’s what they’re saying: “In a world of digital trickery and special effects, it takes a true artist to conjure an illusion with a trusty paintbrush and canvas. After more than 40 years as an artist, John Wilson has perfected his own take on the ‘reverse perspective’ genre, which bends the rules of physics to transform the viewer’s interpretation of objects near and far. John is a British-born self-taught contemporary artis. His art is surreal, with most pieces viewed in 3D and containing reverse perspective. John’s work has become highly sought after in England with many openings being sold out on the first day. He exhibited in Harrods London, International Convention Centre Birmingham and private galleries in Belfast, Manchester and Glasgow. John’s paintings are not just pictures to look at, they are a visual experience that you will want to talk about! Photos do not do John’s work justice as the canvases themselves are 3D and the reverse perspective method John has used creates the illusion that tricks the eye – so make the trip and see for yourself.
