Introducing our 'Artist In Focus' for the month of June...
Rob Shaw!
Six bold new original paintings now available to purchase in our gallery in York, or on our website.
Here's 'Little Crab' - an original oil on board painting, available now.
A little about Rob: 'I am a self-taught artist, working full time in the Northeast of England since 2006 when I left my profession as an Interior Architect. I have supported myself solely through painting for the last 16 years. I began painting in 1993 when my parents relocated to just north of Whitby and had my first solo show in 1996 at Castleton Studio Gallery. Over the years I have developed my own unique style and constantly try to push my work to breaking point.
I have shown and sold at the RA summer shows in 2012/13. I have also shown and sold large cityscapes in London / New York and Singapore. I am currently working on developing a new style of image. My work is predominantly oil based on heavy duty boards. I am an image chaser, pushing the materials and painting to breaking point before the finished art can be realised.
My work is layered, paintings taking up to 5 years of re working and people can read them in a variety of ways. Within this site you can find examples of my style and artistic methods within my current and past collections.'
