Shrosbree’s artistic research explores perception, form, and the interplay between material and immaterial. His work often investigates spatial relationships, minimalism, and the philosophical dimensions of art. Through sculpture and drawing, he engages with themes of temporality, presence, and the unseen nature of artistic expression.
His recent publications and exhibitions reflect a sustained engagement with contemporary ceramic abstraction and conceptual art. The works demonstrate a trajectory focused on materiality, spatial perception, and formal innovation, often blurring boundaries between object and environment.
