Grosvenor Gallery presents new works by artist Mark Shields in a show titled The Sealed Book: Visionary Heads.
Shortlisted for the 2021 Trinity Buoy wharf drawing prize with his drawings ‘Seer’ and ‘Sybil’, the current body of works represent the complete series made directly after. Suggestive of the rich depth of mezzotints, these new works on paper were created after a series of small but turbulent non-representational watercolour and gouache works made at the beginning of 2021, in response to the tangible threats of climate change, pandemic and global unease.
