Shaun Waugh, born 1982, is a standard bearer of a new and intriguing generation of artists raised in the age of the digital image. He is a digital native, staking out new territory with genre-bending multimedia work that is propelled by conceptual experimentation and a disregard for the previously rigid constraints of artistic discipline. While he is primarily a photographer, many of his works eschew simple categorisation, instead blending photography with elements of painting and sculpture.
