Wednesday 18th November

Private view: Jim Shaw

4e9b0053-0210-4e0b-9b7d-604a66825711-2060x2043

Evening preview of an exhibition of new paintings (all 2015) by Los Angeles based artist Jim Shaw.

Material wealth, innocence and guilt, man’s relationship with nature and religious fanaticism all come under fire in Shaw’s new paintings. Mining and splicing American histories, mythologies, children’s stories, images from advertising, cartoons and his personal memories and collections, Shaw’s seductive, darkly comic works invite us to reflect on social and economic power systems and subjugation.

6-8pm  SIMON LEE GALLERY, 12 Berkeley Street, , London, W1J 8DT www.simonleegallery.com

Thursday 19th November
