As George Shaw’s stunning Sly and Unseen Day slips away, Robert Breer takes on the mantle at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.

Once again, I’m proud to have made the high resolution scan in preparation for the production of the latest twenty metre banner adorning BALTIC’s quayside wall.

As you will see, this is a particularly satisfying outcome when seeing the tiny size of the original artwork…!

I can thoroughly recommend making the time to see George Shaw’s The Sly and Unseen Day exhibition at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.

Stunning paintings made with good ol’ Humbrol (yes, Humbrol!).  Over to the man himself…

George Shaw’s exhibition opens this week as part of the Spring 2011 programme at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.

The show, entitled “The Sly and Unseen Day”, runs until 15th May.

I’m proud to have worked on another of the huge 20 metre banners hanging on the wall of this vast building.  As before, I made a high resolution scan of the 5×4″ transparency documenting the original painting and optimised the file ready for output at such a size…
