ARTIST AT WORK
No.52 Geoff Shillito, The Girl on The Beach Oil on Canvas, 48 cm x 63 cm, £2,000
In 2005 I was elected a member of the Bath Society of Artists, and in 2020 became an Academician of the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Arts. I exhibit mainly in Bristol, Bath, London and the South West. Also, in 2020, I was invited to show work at the RealismusGalerie, Berlin, as part of the Künstlersonderbund in Deutschland (Artists‘ Special Association in Germany). In March 2023, I shall be showing new work at the South West Academy’s Spring Exhibition at The Brownston Gallery, Modbury, South Devon.

The Girl on The Beach forms part of an ongoing series of new narrative paintings. With reference to narrative content, all works are unrelated. However, as will be seen in this and other works in the series, I explore my fascination with dynamic and oblique perspectives.
This is a departure from work created over the past few years that focused predominantly on the human head, more often than not on a monumental scale. Other works in my current portfolio include a continuing series of small still-life paintings where I explore, in close-up, the beauty of everyday objects. geoffshillito.com
