Growing up in Wolverhampton, Royal College of Art graduate Shaqúelle Whyte has cited visits to the city’s art gallery as being pivotal in the development of his creativity. Now - in his mid-20s - Shaqúelle has his very own exhibition at the venue! 

What’s more, the gallery has recently acquired one of his paintings - the striking and nocturnal Blackbirds Singing In The Dead Of Night - for its permanent collection. 

The painting takes its place in the Shattered Dreams exhibition alongside five other similarly dynamic and large-scale works, all of which serve to showcase Shaqúelle’s bold figurative style and vigorous mark-making.
