He has worked as an artist, writer and activist for almost four decades. He conceived and organised the Kissit! XX Campaign - a series of national protests to expose human rights violations in the psychiatric system. He co-authored On the Receiving End which was published to highlight the emotional and psychological impact of psychiatric assault and call for radical reform of the mental health system.
Aidan Shingler’s art and writing, questions and challenges common preconceptions and misconceptions. He invites those who encounter his work to see the world anew. Through creativity he celebrates life and the universe, emphasises the multi-dimensional nature of reality and conveys the vulnerability and strength of the human spirit. His work is pervaded by signs, symbolism, synchronicity and significance.
Aidan Shingler's exhibitions have toured the United Kingdom. He was curator of the 1990 Visions show at the Royal College of Art and is the creator of StarDisc, a 21st Century celestial amphitheater located in the Derbyshire Dales.
