The figures in Whyte’s paintings are real people in fictional scenarios who act as a foil for his own innermost thoughts. Both familiar and mysterious, the imagined worlds he creates invite viewers to bring their own interpretations to the encounter.
Shaquelle Whyte (b. 2000, Wolverhampton, UK) is a figurative painter whose enigmatic works explore the human condition whilst exploring the material qualities of paint. Working from found images and his own photographs, drawings, and writings, he creates narratives for the characters within his tableaux. The figures in Whyte’s paintings are real people in fictional scenarios who act as a foil for his own innermost thoughts. Both familiar and mysterious, the imagined worlds he creates invite viewers to bring their own interpretations to the encounter. By using a visual language of recurring motifs, he explores non-linear storytelling as the extracted details of his expansive worlds appear across multiple works. Whyte has completed his studies for a BA Hons Fine Art at Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) and is now completing a masters in Painting from the Royal college of Art (RCA).
