OLIVER SHAW

Born in the UK, Oliver grew up on the south coast, skateboarding his way between the art schools of Hastings and Brighton during the vibrant 1990s—a defining era for British art education  he studied under several influential artists who helped shape his creative outlook. What began as a passion for making and painting quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to art, leading to the creation of many notable Shaw paintings on walls and in collections all over the world

Over the course of a decade, Oliver immersed himself in Graphic Design, Illustration, and Fine Art—disciplines that laid the foundation for his diverse practice, spanning mural painting, portraiture, web design, and abstract expressionism. 

Now based in Berlin, he has continued to “view the brighter side of life from the other side of the fence.” 

Since the early 2000s, Oliver—working under his nickname The Shaw—has exhibited internationally, with his paintings featured in numerous publications and collected around the globe. He is also a member of the BBK Berlin e.V.
