Delivering Postcards to Wilfrid Wood

#spittingimage #satirical #caricature
Wilfrid Wood is a London-based portrait artist who trained in graphics at Central St Martins before landing a job building latex heads for satirical TV programme Spitting Image. From there he embarked on his artistic career, and his charismatic and quirky sculptures have since been exhibited all over the world. Wilfrid has created likenesses of a variety of people from Wayne Rooney to Paul McCartney, and was also responsible for the viral plasticine head of Marc Zuckerberg.
Wilfrid is one of over 20 artists who have donated small-sized original artworks for the mini auction we have curated for Art On A Postcard - bidding is currently open and will close on September 29th! All of the proceeds raised from the auction will be donated to the Hepatitis C Trust to help them eliminate the disease by 2030.
We were lucky enough to recently catch up with Wilfrid in his Hackney Wick studio to talk about his art process, famous fans, and his love of 70s icon and recent chart-topper Kate Bush, who is depicted on Wilfrid’s postcard in his typically zany, oddball style.
