Working through a distinctive process that combines painted surface with layered, collaged materials, his works often use textured wallpaper arranged in a marquetry-like technique. Colour, structure, and spatial rhythm sit at the core of his practice, creating scenes that feel both familiar and entirely imagined.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eBorn in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Wightman studied Fine Art at \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMiddlesex University\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, graduating in 2001, before completing an MA in Painting at the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eRoyal College of Art\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003eHis work has been widely exhibited in the UK and internationally, including solo presentations in London, Toronto, and Montréal, as well as collaborations and commissioned projects that extend his visual language into new contexts.
