love corbin shaw, think his work is provocative, gritty, and digs its nails into nostalgic dreams of those who grew up in england,

but he also extracts and smudges issues right into the face of the onlooker. his work using the st george’s cross as a canvas to paste issues surrounding the epidemics that plague this country is unique, simple and striking. i’ve actually done a piece on the union jack and the switch to the st george’s cross in sport and how people like corbin are using the flag with stereotypical connotations, to shift perspectives around england.

a serious consumer of culture. brilliant insight into his process, love love love <3!

Corbin Shaw has got under the bones of English / British identity, where few, I think, dare to go, believing complexity and esotericism create validity in the work (they don't). I appreciate his take re: originality. We are endlessly repeating everything. Enjoy being part of the collective unconscious, there is no escaping it!
