Canadian oil painter and watercolourist, specializing in portraiture, landscape and still life.
Bob Shackles work is an exploration of the markers left behind by change and choice, such as tattoos, oxidation, rust trails, peeling paint or wrinkles. He looks for those markers in the things we build from self and family to ships and buildings. Markers are given prominence in his work through design, form and shape making, brush strokes and colour..
