Bored of the limitations of traditional mediums, Wilf Frost searched for something that reflects the connection to life so intrinsic in his style. His creative journey led him to explore alternative surfaces, uncovering beauty in the overlooked and discarded.

From antique markets and eBay listings to skips and the muddy banks of the Thames, Wilf scours for pieces of timber rich with history and character. Each fragment brings with it a story of its own, creating a palimpsest of history and colour.

For Wilf, these found materials are not just supports for paint but collaborators in the creative process. He imagines the journeys these timbers have taken and channels that energy into his art. From tree to trash, each groove and hole informs the picture Wilf crafts. By merging new imagery with old surfaces, he creates works that carry both his vision and the echoes of their past lives, making each piece unique and precious.
