Shaun Belcher is a particularly British landcape artist.

He specialises in charcoal, oil, gouache and watercolour images of the English landscape that reflect the traditional values of Turner, Constable, Paul Nash and William Nicholson but adds a particularly post-modernist slant.

His interest in environmental change and its effect on the English landscape is reflected in his working methods with drawings completed on location. To do this he spent many hours on an old white bicycle trundling around the highways and byways of Oxfordshire.

His travels have taken him from his birthplace near Wittenham Clumps south of Oxford to the Gower Peninsula in Wales and from the Wolds of Leicestershire to the Tuscan hills.

His works are available at competitive rates and he is happy to undertake commissions.

THE CHALK DOWNS, OXFORDSHIRE 1992

A series of black and white charcoal drawings of the South Downs below Oxford and three colour gouaches. Drawings were done entirely in open air during a series of bycycle rides around the downs.

BLEWBURTON HILL

Subjects included the iron age hill forts at Wittenham Clumps and Blewburton Hill which were both drawn by Paul Nash in the 1920's through to the 1940's. The paintings are informed by the landscape work of David Bomberg.

WITTENHAM CLUMPS

Wittenham Clumps were first drawn by Paul Nash in the early years of the 20th century and he later painted a series of images of the twin hills in later life. Shaun Belcher grew up on a farm overlooking these hills so these images are informed by a personal sense of place.
