Review

Born in Hull, 2nd December 1943 to September 11th 2005 Cork, Ireland

The ex-installation/painter artist named Willis who after years of living as a recluse died in his sleep on September 11th 2005, he was 62.

His History

Willis was an inspiring artist in the late 1960s early 70s. He disappeared off the art scene all together by the mid 1970s. It was heard that he destroyed all of his work in his back garden around 1974. Willis had a breakdown in the early 1980s and lost his way, he had to be placed into care.

Willis was a mental scribbler, an art brut artist, self-taught and still a recluse but has decided to show off his work again only this year 2005.

Willis was introverted, looking inward to expand his own mental universe, through his art he gained inner peace.
