In a world of digital trickery and special effects it takes a true artist to conjure an illusion with 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 viewers interpretation of objects near and far.

John D Wilson is a British born, self taught, contemporary artist whom moved to New Zealand with his wife in 2015.

His work 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.

His paintings are not just pictures to look at, they are a visual experience.

ART MATAKANA is one of only two Galleries in New Zealand to represent John’s exceptional artworks.

Note: If you would like further images, or more of the visual experience of the 3D movement effect, please contact the gallery.
