Wilson admits that he has been influenced by Mucha, Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, and "the expressionist idea of really putting it out there...

Like his native city, which lies on the fringes of the Western world, his work flirts with the Far East, draws from such predecessors as Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt as well as the tendrilous enticements of Jugendstil or art nouveau.

As is typical in Schiele, a minimum of slightly wavy lines describe the body in an almost skeletal form. The head is tossed back and the mouth rounded into a long wail. Though it lacks the conviction of future self-portraits, the drawing predicts the increasingly tortured expression to be found in Schiele's work...
