Signed 'George Shaw' (lower left)
This painting captures the quiet drama of the Kentish coast with masterful subtlety. Shaw’s nuanced palette and delicate brushwork evoke the stillness before change, portraying the shifting tides with poetic realism. A contemplative seascape from one of Britain’s most underrated coastal painters.
- George Shaw was born in Glasgow in 1929. In 1947 Shaw abandoned a future in the merchant service when he earned a place at the Wimbledon College of Art, at that time a primary school for painters. Four years at the School provided a good grounding in academic painting from which Shaw launched career.
