My Back to Nature is a series of new paintings and drawings made by George Shaw whilst in residence at the National Gallery.

About

These work resonate with the artist’s experience of walking in the forest near his hometown as a teenager, with the feeling that ‘something out the ordinary could happen at any time there, away from the supervision of adults.’

Based in a studio located in the heart of the National Gallery, George had swift and unrestricted access to the Gallery to explore the collection out of hours and at his leisure, draw from the pictures, observe the public, and find inspiration for his own work. The result is predominantly woodland landscapes that investigate the clash of cultures; classical stories linked with the traces of similar, timeless behaviour in the modern world; and the portrayal of religion.
