Elliott Wilcox
Prior to being shortlisted for last year's BBC 2 documentary ‘School of Saatchi’, Elliott Wilcox had an extensive number of awards to his name. Picking up awards at Flash Forward - Emerging Photographers 2009, the Lucie Awards and the International Photography Awards, Wilcox is currently studying MA Photographic Studies at University of Westminster. Merging a poetic aesthetic with a sense of the sinister ‘Deep into the darkness peering’ is Wilcox’s most recent body of work. His interest is in challenging the traditional notion of street photography. Focusing on the nocturnal street rendered unusual by the use of artificial lighting, these images are the result of an exploration influenced by Barthes use of the term ‘punctum’ and are based on the transitory moment between the unconscious and conscious in this environment.

Taken of the newly refurbished Clifton Rackets court at Clifton College in Bristol. The rich colours of the electric red lines and strong black walls are captured under natural light by Wilcox to form his abstract geometric aesthetic and mysterious nocturnal atmosphere. Many different abstract forms compose the image: the painted lines, the concrete joins, the marked wall and the worn floor.
