Adult Reading at Artist’s Bedtime features illustrated stories from the sketchbooks of John Shinnors, one of Ireland’s foremost artists. His paintings often combine the figurative and abstract at once, with distinctive coloured or black-and-white geometric shapes and repetition of form. The drawings and paintings in the sketchbooks are more figurative as they illustrate the personal stories documented here, which are poignant, humorous and surreal.
Also available: John Shinnors – Profile, a comprehensive overview of his work, together with a major essay and interview with the artist.
