“You can almost feel the gouache and tippex and graphite in the prints – lovely.”
Richard Wilson.
Richard Wilson ‘Slipstream’ is a group of nine drawings made between 2011-2014 to accompany the artist’s 70-metre sculpture of the same name at Heathrow Terminal 2. The new limited-edition prints published by Sketched exhibit the work together for the first time.
Spanning four columns of Heathrow Terminal 2, Slipstream was modelled on a small aeroplane flown by the triple world-champion Red Bull air-racer Paul Bonhomme. The drawings bear witness to the challenge of conveying the stunt plane’s twisting velocity.
To create this monumental public work, Wilson ended up going back to his old model-making days as a child. “We all see our world from the eyes outward,” the artist reflected, “but what a lot of people don’t see is what’s inside our brain as thought. Drawing or models are all about that – How to take what’s behind the eyes and how to get that out, with a pencil, or a heated model aeroplane pushed into butter?”
By publishing this new collection of limited-edition prints of ‘Slipstream’ drawings, Sketched aims to explore that very same question. “It’s lovely to see the drawings as a set,” Wilson says, “as they’ve never been shown collectively. You can almost feel the gouache and tippex and graphite in the prints – lovely. Something taking a movement through space, enhanced by a series of arrows in play to give you a sense of direction. It’s a bit like going back to comic books, with arrows as movement or little marks that indicate a sense of direction with an object going through space.”
A3 photopolymer print on matte 315gsm. Edition of 100 (with signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity)

Works in prints from Richard Wilson
One of Britain's most renowned sculptors, Richard Wilson is internationally celebrated for his interventions in architectural space which draw heavily for their inspiration from the worlds of engineering and construction.
Wilson has exhibited widely nationally and internationally for over thirty years and has made major museum exhibitions and public works in countries as diverse as Japan, USA, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Australia and numerous countries throughout Europe. Wilson has also represented Britain in the Sydney, Sao Paulo, Venice and Aperto Biennial and the Yokohama Triennal, was nominated for the Turner Prize on two occasions and was awarded the prestigious DAAD residency in Berlin 1992/3. He was one of a select number of artists invited to create a major public work for The Millennium Dome and the only British artist invited to participate in Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2000, Japan.
Wilson's commissioned contribution to Liverpool's European Capital of Culture, 2008, entitled Turning the Place Over, comprised a vast ovoid section of a façade that rotated three dimensionally on a spindle. His regional cultural Olympic exhibition, Hang on a Minute Lads, I've got a Great Idea, at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill 2012 had a hydraulically teetering replica coach (The Italian Job) positioned at the edge of the buildings roof. He opened Slipstream, a major commission for Heathrow's Terminal 2 in April 2014, and in 2017 a major solo show at Annely Juda Gallery in London, entitled Stealing Space.
