George Shaw (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Shaw (born 1966 in Coventry) is a Nottingham based contemporary artist who is noted for his highly detailed naturalistic approach and English suburban subject matter. His favoured medium is Humbrol enamel paints which lend his work a unique appearance as they are more commonly used to paint Airfix models.
He first attracted attention for painting the estate where he grew up in the 1970s, in the Tile Hill suburb of Coventry.
