Fionn Wilson

I now have over 20 paintings in public art collections. This is important to me – it means my works will be looked after for years to come and that I’m contributing (in a small way) to the cultural landscape.

Seven of these works are listed at Art UK, the public database of paintings in public collections in the U.K., with more being added soon.

From the Art UK website:

‘Art UK is the online home for every public art collection in the United Kingdom.

We are an art education charity and we democratise access to art.

Our website brings together art from over 3,400 British institutions in one of the UK’s biggest ever arts partnerships. It shows over 300,000 works by over 50,000 artists and is growing all the time.

You will find the art held by museums, universities, libraries, town halls and hospitals, together with art owned by national bodies such as the National Trust and National Trust for Scotland.

Building on this wonderful repository of artworks, the Art UK website is rich in story content and learning resources, and it offers many ways for everyone to engage with art.

Through our work, we make art accessible to all – for enjoyment, learning and research. Thanks to our generous supporters, it’s all free.’
