MEET:Stephen Wiltshire: Man who remembers all he sees and draws. (Photographic Memory)
Stephen Wiltshire MBE, Hon.FSAI (born 24 April 1974) is a British architectural artist. He is known for his ability to draw from memory a landscape after seeing it just once. His work has gained worldwide popularity.
In 2006, Wiltshire was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to art. In the same year, he opened a permanent gallery on the Royal Opera Arcade in London.
Stephen Wiltshire is a British architectural artist who can look at a landscape once and then draw it with perfect accuracy. “He frequently draws entire cities from memory, based on double, brief helicopter rides. For example, he produced a detailed drawing of four square miles of London after a single helicopter ride above that city. His nineteen-foot-long drawing of 305 square miles of New York City is based on a single twenty-minute helicopter ride” (see image)
