Michael Shapcott (born June 6, 1982 in Hartford,
Connecticut) is a Central Connecticut-based painter, known for his daring colour
palette and emotionally charged portraits. His work deal with highly detailed
graphite underdrawing’s which he then paints with colourful washes in oil and
acrylic paints. In addition to painting, Shapcott creates art videos that track
the process of painting a painting and show his unique style of working.
Shapcott studied illustration for two years before switching
to fine arts for the remainder of his studies at Paier College of Art in
Hamden, Connecticut, graduating in 2007 with a diploma in Fine Arts. He credits
his education for basic technical experience but feels that only in breaking
some of the traditional methods, he was taught and experimenting on his own did
he develop the confidence, unique voice and style he continues to expand upon
today.
