His English commissions include a large scale abstraction of a racehorse (based on Stubbs equestrian portrait) in steel for the Weatherby Racing Group UK. Wilson held his controversial first solo exhibition Schadenfreude in London's Cork Street, which was followed by Blastface in Berlin in 1999, featuring work made with plastic explosives and decommissioned weapons and ordance from Berlin.
