After discovering his passion for art via doodling, self-taught 'Outsider' artist Scottie Wilson evolved a highly personal artistic style, peopled by his own characters - ‘evils and greedies’ - whom he juxtaposed with naturalistic symbols of goodness and truth, often playful and colourful, sometimes bizarre.
