Shaun Tan is one of the world’s most acclaimed narrative artists. Drawing upon twenty-five years as a picture book and comics creator, painter, designer and filmmaker, Creature explores a central obsession with imaginary beings. Beyond sketches for visionary works such as The Arrival, The Red Tree, The Lost Thing, Tales From Outer Suburbia and Tales From the Inner City, this volume collects together for the first time unseen and stand-alone drawings and paintings, each resonant with unwritten tales of their own. Detailed commentary by the artist offers an entertaining insight into the endless allure of non-human creatures and what they might tell us about our “normal” human selves.
Artists, writers, students, dreamers, and anyone interested in the deeper undercurrents of creativity will find inspiration in these pages. This is a beautifully produced hardcover book that would make a perfect gift.
