October seems to be a Shaun Tan sort of month!
'Skull Fox', Limited edition print, edition of 150 - $195
October seems to be a Shaun Tan sort of month!
Shaun Tan's latest book, The Singing Bones, published by Allen & Unwin, has just been released. Signed copies are available from Books Illustrated NOW!
In this beautifully presented volume, the essence of seventy-five fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm is wonderfully evoked by Shaun Tan's extraordinary sculptures and his beautifully succinct text.
'These little figures of clay, with their simplified features, their single attributes, are perfect realisations of the strangeness of the characters they represent.'
Philip Pullman, from his foreword to the book.
If you are in Melbourne you have the chance to see an exhibition of these sculptures at:
SHAUN TAN – THE SINGING BONES exhibition
No Vacancy Gallery
Oct 1 to October 18
New prints & Originals
Shaun has chosen 14 of his sculptural illustrations from The Singing Bones to release as limited edition prints -
