Found the perfect bed reading book; This book was first published in 1995 and has now just been reprinted.
I saw a big show of Shaw a year ago at Metro Pictures and totally felt for his work.
He's been around for a long time, but not that well known. His work is very divers; always a slow career.
These dreams are from 87 - 95. But the drawings date from 93 - 95.
Like most dream art; To be taken in small doses.
3 or 4 Dali's I can enjoy. But a whole museum of Dali, becomes like a amusement Park. Makes me visual immune . That's also a bit my problem with the famous dutch dream drawer Paul Kleemann.
But here in this book, the simple texts by the artist guide you through his brain after-closing time. On the right side of the page the dream is written down in the very fragmented way dream are. On the other side of the page the visualisation of the dream in precise pencil.
A real joy to go from text to drawing and vise versa. Perfect artistbook. This book is cheap, rich , funny and thick.
