Richard Wilson was born 24 May 1953 and is an English sculptor, installation artist and musician.
His art- Wilson's work is characterised by architectural concerns with volume, illusionary spaces and auditory perception.
His most famous and more well known piece would be the room that is part-filled with highly reflective used sump oil creating an illusion of the room turned upside down. This room gave awareness of specific proportions. It was first exhibited at Matt's Gallery, London in 1987, and then became one of the signature pieces of the Saatchi Gallery. It is considered to be a defining work in the genre of site-specific installation art.
