Shaun Gladwell works across video, performance, painting, photography, sculpture, and virtual reality, exploring the intersection of movement, urban culture, and contemporary life. His work investigates the dynamics of personal experience and collective cultural gestures, often drawing on skateboarding, BMX, breakdancing, and other forms of street performance as both subject and medium. In video and performance works, Gladwell examines the interplay of body, space, and time, capturing the fluidity of motion in urban and natural environments.

His multidisciplinary approach interrogates the relationship between human presence, environment, and technology, producing work that is both physically engaged and conceptually reflective. ...
