As a Modern British painter Woolcock"s landscapes have often been described as mystical in their composition.
The strong pigments used in his oil colour have also made his work distinctive. The London Times art critic Joanna Pitman wrote this about Woolcock"s style and influences: "The scale and proportions of his work present an internal harmony, and this mood is completed in the delicate balance between form and the exquisite colours he uses.
We see lyrical lines and geometric fragmented shapes..Woolcock has seemed to show an interest in Cubism and a wonderful sense of contour and drama. There is a meditative serenity in his colour variations which perhaps reflects the contemplative personality of Woolcock himself..his landscapes evoke the beauty and grandeur of the Irish Countryside"
