George Shaw, Suburban Landscapes; "The Sea Is a Cliché"
The Independent (Jim Wileman):
"Painter George Shaw decamped to Ilfracombe in Devon in 2004. His then long-term partner, now wife, Katherine, came from the town and they felt it was time for a change from Nottingham. 'Will you be painting the sea?' I ask looking at the stunning view from the couple's kitchen, and Shaw virtually shudders. 'I want to paint the sea. I have done it once or twice but it does not say anything. It is a cliché'".
