From Gaze to Witness: Masculinity and Loss in George Shaw’s Paintings of Tile Hill

  • Elisa Oliver Manchester Metropolitan University and Leeds Beckett University

Abstract


This paper explores the gaze as witness in George Shaw’s painting of Tile Hill. Considering Shaw’s process of making in the series ‘Scenes of the Passion’ (1990-2017) the paper addresses the relationship of site, memory and gaze in a negotiation of masculinity and loss in these images.
