neil shigley


there's always that niggle now when you're looking at images like this that here's an artist making art from the lives of the less fortunate. obviously the stakes are even higher when that artist is whote and male. even so, i'm thinking neil shigley hits the target here and shows a humanity in his subjects and a compassion that's all too easy to miss as we walk by the ever increasing numbers of people dropping through the cracks in our societies. and i love a big print!
