About

Brian Wilson is an award-winning photographer, visual communications professional, and videographer who has worked in the photo industry for over 20 years helping companies and institutions convey their messages visually. Brian started his career as a freelance commercial photographer in the Philadelphia Area working with top hospitals, educational institutions, restaurants, and other local businesses. He then went on to serve as Princeton University’s Institutional Photographer for over 5 years and later as a Medical Photographer/Videographer for Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and MGH Research Institute in Boston.

His artistic practice centers on the tension between form and perception. I work with familiar materials—concrete, glass, wood, and steel. Through distortion, twisting, juxtaposition, and spatial disruption, I invite viewers to reconsider the assumptions they hold about the physical world and the objects in it.

My sculptures aim to occupy a space between recognition and disorientation. By transforming materials into unfamiliar structures, I seek to create moments of cognitive pause—instances where the viewer must renegotiate their understanding of what they see. These interruptions in perception are where the work comes alive, prompting questions about utility, permanence, and the constructs we accept as reality.

I am interested in how material choices carry both physical and cultural weight and how subverting expectations can reveal hidden narratives and challenge dominant interpretations. Ultimately, my work is less about providing answers and more about creating a space for inquiry where the viewer is encouraged to engage, reflect, and re-imagine the world around them.
