Autumn's come undone - Shag

Shag is renowned for his distinctive combination of sly humour and vibrant colours, but in this new collection of work, he makes an exciting departure.by painting in shades of black humour. The intimate moments are replaced with epic tableaus; richly hued designer environments have given way to subtly de-saturated expanses, his characters, once grounded in mid-century formality, teeter on the brink of chaos. Marking a defining moment in his practice. It is the darkest, most thought-provoking series of images that he has ever created.
