James Shipton is an emerging British painter whose former training in medical science affords him an interest and understanding of human anatomy, something he harnesses to infuse in his artistic work. Heavily influenced by the styles of Degas, Schiele and Gustav Klimt, he composes paintings and drawings that seek to capture the beauty of the female form, as well as the inherently isolated human form.
