In 2014, the contemporary painter George Shaw (b. 1966) began a
two-year post as associate artist in the National Gallery, London.
This book documents his experiences there, as well as the work he
produced in response to the Gallery's collection. Shaw is known for
his minutely detailed and luminously atmospheric depictions of the
urban landscape and woodlands of central England. Painting scenes
from his native region, Shaw meditates on the central themes of
relationships, ancestry, and love. His preferred medium, Humbrol
enamel paint, is a deliberate means of distancing himself from the
traditions of oil painting-and, it might seem, from the values
embedded in the National Gallery itself. Yet as a teenager in
Coventry, Shaw was fascinated by the Gallery, traveling regularly
to London to draw from those artists he found inspiring. This
engaging volume reproduces his first series of paintings on canvas,
together with working drawings and an essay by the artist himself.
