Shaun's colourful and sophisticated works exude a worldly influence. He explores the effect of light and shadow on landforms evoking the strength and conflict within nature. The shadow, which is ever present in Atkinson's work, is an expression of  territories of the subconscious. It stimulates past experience and metaphors of place, and here we find a silence and isolation integral to the Western Australian landscape.

Western Australian artist Shaun Atkinson has been exhibiting nationally and internationally since 1975. He has travelled extensively, living abroad in both Europe and Asia. Shaun Atkinson is well recognized for his atmospheric paintings combining the three elements of Land, Sea and Sky. He often incorporates gold and silver leaf which gives an Asian sensibility to his landscapes. 

Shaun’s hometown Margaret River gives him an endless source of inspiration and subject matter.
