In the world of contemporary ceramics, Richard Shaw is the master of trompe-l’oeil sculpture. He has developed an astonishing array of techniques, including perfectly cast porcelain objects and overglaze transfer decals. By combining the commonplace with the whimsical, the humorous with the mundane, Shaw captures the poetic and the surreal with wit and irreverent humor.


Shakespeare RED Series
What do the words sacred, redeem, credit, redoubled, and undishonoured have in common? They all contain the color red in them, and furthermore, are in the collected works of Shakespeare. In his entire works, Shakespeare used an impressive 25,538 unique English words, of which 235 words contain red. We printed these 235 words in concentric circles on paper, in the order, they first appear in Shakespeare's works. Then we fold between the circles of text to form curved crease sculpture.
We chose a font called Hamlet designed by Edward Johnston for an award-winning art-book edition of Hamlet published by Cranach Press in 1930. It was declared by Buchkunststiftung der Deutschen Bücherei (Leipzig) as the most beautiful book of the year.
