Artist Spotlight: Jack Willshaw

Jack Willshaw (b. 2005) is a visual artist from Thornaby on Tees, in the North East of England. His work explores themes of memory, class, and cultural erasure in post industrial Britain. Drawing from his own lived experience, he critiques the systems that attempt to shape working class life. At the heart of his practice is a desire to create space for a more sensitive, nuanced understanding of class, one that moves beyond stereotype and misrepresentation.
