Will Wells




Will Wells produced a series of portraits of famous people accompanied by a quote from them on God.  The people Will chose included actors, scientists and politicians; they are all well known, they all have a public face so the accompanying quotes offer an insight into their normally private space. This became a real hook to entice his audience, we want to collect their thoughts, compare them with what we know about them.  

Will spent a great deal of time developing the visual form finally settling on a simple and direct line and black and white.
