I was keen to spread the word about Tim Shaw’s impressive portfolio of work – Dave and I have designed a several items of print & promotional work for this Cornwall based artist. He’s created some amazing pieces, we are so pleased his work has been recognised with this award. I can highly recommending reading about the concept and ‘inspirations’ of ‘Man on fire’ – fairly relevant in todays war-saturated world.
Elaborating on the concept behind this project Shaw explains,
‘What happened then is now a tragic, daily occurrence for thousands of people in other parts of the world. The difference is – it happens with greater magnitude and devastation – in Gaza and Ukraine particularly. Man on Fire represents not just soldiers fighting on the frontline, it is about all humanity – innocent civilians caught between warring factions who cannot escape the cruel, time-old curse of war.’
