About Stephen Whatcott
Stephen Whatcott is a self-taught artist working in Worcestershire, UK producing minimalist, abstract expressionist paintings. With roots based on drawing, his work tends to utilise line and form. These largely monochrome abstract paintings explore solidity, texture and composition, often executed in a seemingly aggressive, or at least expressive, manner.
In 2015 Whatcott won the Painting category of the Secret Art Prize open art competition and in 2018 was shortlisted for the Rise Art Prize.
Whatcott is represented by various galleries and consultants based in London, Glasgow and Chicago. His work is held in private collections worldwide.

About the Product
With roots based in drawing, this collection of abstract work explores solidity, texture and form, produced using a limited palette allowing focus and direction. The paintings depict forms that at first glance appear quite solid, some even being walls of black paint, but on closer inspection give a sense of their fragility and impending collapse.
The paintings are physical, both in technique and presence, but ultimately attempt to communicate on an emotional level. Composed largely intuitively, it is in the fundamental components of vitality, drive and feeling, the things that epitomise being alive, that are being conveyed in these pictures.
The titles of these paintings are often used more to reflect the general feel of the work rather than having any direct reference. However, French Window refers to the Matisse-esq composition and relates to his flirtation with abstraction in his painting Porte-fenêtre à Collioure.
