Artists

A graduate from Central St. Martin’s, Phil Ashcroft is now an artist based in London. He produces paintings, light boxes and prints, combining influences from abstract expressionism, British landscape painting, Japanese woodcuts, and graphic street art. Ashcroft integrates varied visual styles to generate a crossover between space, object and environment. As a selected artist for Deptford X 2009, Phil Ashcroft will be producing a new graphic work for a 48-sheet billboard located on the junction of New Cross and Lewisham Way. Ashcroft was a Finalist in the Celeste Art Prize in 2007 and selected for Contemporary Art Society’s ARTfutures in 2007, 2005 and 2004. His lightbox work, The Skid Stops At This Point People, was also collected by New Art Gallery, Walsall in 2007.
