Wayne Eastcott

About the Artist

Eastcott is an experimental printmaker. Innovating techniques that incorporate drawing and photographic imagery, Eastcott’s prints often possess a strong technological skeleton and are then reworked with gestural effects. Within the conversation between drawing and photography---the eye and the lens---Eastcott considers the relationship between natural and manufactured worlds by exploring their governance by order, chance, structure, and randomness. 

Eastcott graduated from the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art + Design). He has since held various teaching positions, and he established the Dundarave Print Workshop and the printmaking department at Capilano College. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, including New York, Japan, Yugoslavia, Poland, Germany, Spain, India and Brazil, and his work is included in several notable collections, including the National Gallery of Canada.
