George Shaw, Scenes from The Passion: The Cop Shop (1999-2000). Humbrol enamel on board
A must see show at the South London Gallery (until 3rd July) with a talk by Shaw on 22nd June which I definately want to go to.
The only slightly frustrating thing was the lighting, which somehow seemed to make the pictures difficult to examine. I read that Shaw had the central atrium over the gallery covered up to get the effect he wanted.
I also learned that he is a current nominee for the Turner prize and that he's almost the same age (maybe a year younger) as the artist I used to confuse him with, David Rayson. I'd be interested to read some comparative criticism of these two artists if anyone feels up to the task??
