Daniel Shadbolt NEAC

Daniel Shadbolt (born 1980) is from Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, just north of London in the UK. He moved to London to study painting at the Chelsea College of Art and Design (2000-2003). Following his degree in Fine Art he completed The Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing School (2003-2004).

He has taught painting at The Heatherley School of Fine Art since 2008 and became an elected member of The New English Art Club in 2015.

His book on ‘Painting and Drawing the Head’ was published by The Crowood Press in 2016.

Recent highlights included a landscape commission from The Peninsula Hotel at Hyde Park Corner in 2021 and a floral still life commission for Anomie Collections 1 in 2022. In 2024 he had a solo exhibition In East Dulwich. He also showed pictures at The London Art Fair.

About his painting Daniel states “I paint portraits, still lifes, landscapes and interiors. Spending my time observing, mixing colours and painting, motivates me to continue and to try out new ideas. My style has become more abstracted over the years as a result of two things; one is the simplification of what I see, in order to be able to paint it, and the other is in the technique of painting, breaking down the painting process and arriving at a simplified expression.”
