Hello and thanks for visiting my website.
I'm an artist based in Kent in the South-East of England. For most of my art career, I’ve worked as a painter, but in the last few years, I’ve specialised in collage and screen printing. The source material for my collages comes from my increasingly large collection of vintage magazines, old books, stamps, coins, and any interesting bits of paper ephemera I can find. I regularly trawl charity shops, antique markets, family bookshelves and eBay for new material.
My ideas tend to be led by the materials I find, so I’ll start with an image, and randomly add other images until an idea starts to emerge, adding more pieces, paint, printing, found objects etc. to reinforce the final concept. Often, the initial image won’t feature in the final piece, but it’s been invaluable as a starting point.
I've been producing screen prints for several years and have shown them in group and solo exhibitions around the UK. All of the prints are hand pulled by me, signed and numbered, and printed on acid-free 300gsm paper. All of my collages are one-off originals and are signed and mounted on heavyweight acid-free paper.
Most of the artwork on this site is available to buy at either https://www.artfinder.com/shane-wheatcroft or
at www.lilfordgallery.com
