George Shaw The World Turned Upside Down Limited Edition Print

BALTIC Shop is excited to introduce this brand new edition from renowned British artist George Shaw and Newcastle based print maker, Hole Editions.

Once again turning to the estates in Coventry where Shaw grew up, the image shows two lots of semi-detached houses reflected in a muddy puddle behind the houses. Shaw captures the familiar feel of the suburban landscape while disorientating the viewer with the upside down perspective. 

'Our world can turn upside down without any one else feeling a thing. A parent dies, a home is lost, a whole way of life scattered. The everyday can look very different depending on where you stand in the landscape; what looks stable can turn unstable at the flick of the wrist, what is day can turn to night in the snap of the fingers and what is real can turn into an image in the blink of an eye.' taken from the Hole Edition website.
