The Gamble, 2012
 
George Shaw, who was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2011, is renowned for his highly detailed paintings and drawings and suburban subject matter. His work focuses on the Tile Hill region of Coventry where he grew up and depicts social housing, suburban woodlands, garages, alleyways, bus stops, phone boxes, graffiti and detritus.
 
Shaw collaborated with independent printmakers Hole Editions to produce a number of hand-printed lithographic limited edition prints. The Gamble depicts a landscape from the Tile Hill Estate. The seemingly everyday scene echoes the familiar yet haunting atmosphere of the artist's childhood.
