Tim Shaw

Tim Shaw R. A. is one of the UK's leading sculptors. He has had significant solo exhibitions throughout the UK, Ireland and internationally and has his work in many public and private art collections. Shaw has undertaken a number of major public commissions and sculpture, including the Rites of Dionysus for The Eden Project, The Minotaur for the Royal Opera House, London and The Drummer for Lemon Quay, Truro. With contributions from Indra Khanna, Mark Hudson and Don Jordan, this book offers great insight and perspectives on the practice of an important artist who is concerned primarily with matters of civilisation. Shaw says that he is interested in aspects of humanity that do not change and in this sense his work transcends a particular era or age, remaining timeless in both its relevance and in its form.
