Untrained himself, Wildman is now collected nationally and internationally as a painter working in the style of Alfred Wallis. Influential artist and sculptor John Maltby recently praised his work, saying “His paintings, though deceptively simple are often small aphorisms of the works of this unique St Ives artist. Once again – Wallis is affordable!!” Wildman, who stayed in Wallis’ cottage for the duration of the festival, was happy to show his paintings in the town which inspired the original work. He explained “Wallis embodies St Ives in many ways. It’s great to come here and show these works at a time when the town is buzzing with people and culture.”
