Description
Shaun Tan, an Australian painter, writer, and muralist, is best known in the United States for illustrated books that deal with social, political, and historical subjects with dream-like images. His picture books and graphic novels are visually complex compositions of symbols, fantastical creatures, and emotive settings and situations. Haunting and mysterious, his work interprets mature themes like alienation, depression, and relocation, in a way that is clever, fresh, and thought-provoking. His use of visual metaphors and references and mix of familiar and surreal are best appreciated by sophisticated readers. Start with: The Arrival
