I have loved Shaun Tan’s work for many years and am so pleased to be able to see this exhibition.

Always a treat to see Shaun Tan’s work, especially up close! I’ve sent the word to all my Shaun Tan loving friends.

‘He (Shaun Tan) is able to capture such intense emotions in a way that takes talent and introspection. Very thought provoking.’

I LOVE SHAUN TAN!

‘Every piece shows details and different focus and tactics, but they still keep Shaun’s style. Really enjoyable and want to come here again and again.’

‘Incredible! I love Shaun Tan, was amazing to see his work in person. Great experience!’
