Resurrection Artwork

Stanley is a Lancashire lad who relocated to Devon in the mid 1980s to study Fine Art at Exeter College of Art & Design, then on to Newcastle for an MA, with two international residencies in between. After a brief 22 years in London he finally settled in Bedfordshire. Drawing became the backbone to all Stanley’s work following traditional teachings in the life room at Art School. What he then procured from sculpture and painting he applied to his drawing; form, texture, layering. Stanley continues to push boundaries with his drawing techniques applying them to new multi-media works. Following the loss of his son in 2020 Stanley’s work has become a reflection of his personal journey, a search for meaning and purpose in a world that can often feel disconnected. He aims to inspire others to explore their own spirituality and hidden depths of consciousness. Through his creative process he seeks to transmute the concept of spiritual transformation into something tangible and visible. Stanley’s new body of work has gained two solo exhibitions, an ever growing number of UK group exhibitions and had several works featured in four consecutive exhibitions in Italy, touring between Milan and Turin, completing the tour at Galleria d’Arte La Conchiglia, Torino. Most recently Stanley’s work was featured in the Chaiya Art Awards 2023 Winner’s exhibition at Bargehouse and OXO Tower Gallery. In 2022 Stanley gained an International Achievement Award for drawing from Camelback Gallery, USA.
