That weekend I fell in love with Martin Boyce (both person and work). We were lucky enough to catch him giving a talk about his work... He loves trees. I love trees. It's a match made in heaven. I didn't even realise he was the same person who's exhibition I had enjoyed previously in Dundee two years ago...
So
I was over joyed when he won the 2011 Turner Prize.
But I didn't being this post to talk about Martin Boyce. I wanted to speak about George Shaw.
He was also nominated for the Turner Prize in 2011. I found his exhibition at the Baltic really disappointing. And thought no more about it. On a recent visit to London, I think, I stumbled across some beautiful etchings of trees by a man named George Shaw. I thought the name rang a bell so I noted it down.
Today I found that note and made that google expedition... It is the same George Shaw.
George, why did you put rubbish photos in your Turner patch?
