About Me>WallShapes

WallShapes logo with spray-can background.

I am a UK artist that works primarily with spray paints and hand-cut paper stencilling. I like the depth of colour, and the techniques available to an artist using them.

I paint under the name 'WallShapes'...which goes back a long way.

I have a shop here on my website with ready-to-hang paintings on traditional style cradled panels and also small scale wooden spray painted cut out shapes that make nice accents in an existing art collection or are perfect displayed as a central feature.

Sorry if an item is out of stock, please check back because I'll be working on some more soon.

...and also please check back for limited editions, new releases and other good stuff!

Peace Always…WallShapes:)

below is a little more about my set up...

Art studio in Warwickshire with paint splatters on the floor, various tools, and equipment. 🔼(My small workshop and studio).

A group of spray paint cans from above. 🔼(Some of my paints) I love the depth of colour and the techniques available to an artist using spray paints. My style is about building thick layers of high pigment spray paint, and using the sharpness of fresh paper stencils for getting high details.

Colour swatching spray paint cans. Doing colour swatches is important to accurately see the colour of the paint in the cans. 🔼(Colour swatching new cans of spray paint.)

Scroll saw set up in the studio. 🔼(My workshop, set up for scroll sawing) My studio workshop is very tight and compact but also conveniently convertible and easy to keep clean 👍

Handmade wooden crown wall art, pre spray painting, raw wood. 🔼(My art in it's rawest form).

Filling and sanding smooth the crown spray paintings pre painting. Crowns filled and sanded down.
🔼(Hand sanding and preparing the wood) I like to fill and smooth most of the deeper natural grain in the surfaces of the wood, but also leave some texture to add interest to the painted finish.

Wooden wall art crowns undercoated in Black. Drying on studio floor. 🔼(Layering undercoats) An undercoat is important because it makes the wood surface more uniform and the painting more durable. I use Gesso which I find very adaptable.

Spray painting the reverse of crowns purple.
🔼(Painting the backs) I like to spray-paint the backs of the paintings different colours and combinations to make each small batch even more individual.

🔼(Drilling the hanging fixtures) My workshop becomes a small factory when I'm busy crafting handmade art panels⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been known as WallShapes ever since my early days as an 'outdoor artist' spray-painting abstract art on to walls.
