Shane Wheatcroft, Alternative Truths

About

Shane Wheatcroft Alternative Truths 3rd - 29th July Shane Wheatcroft is an artist based in Kent in the South- East of England. For most of his art career, he has worked as a painter, but in the last few years has specialised in collage and screen printing. The source material for Shane’s collages comes from an increasingly large collection of vintage magazines, old books, stamps, coins, and any interesting bits of paper ephemera he can find. He regularly trawls charity shops, antique markets, family bookshelves and eBay for new material. Shane’s ideas tend to be led by the materials he finds, starting 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. Join us on the 6th July from 6-8pm for the private view of the exhibition and to meet the artist.
