Corbin Shaw

Corbin Shaw (b.1998) is a British artist based in East London, originally from Sheffield. Using his upbringing in a South Yorkshire ex-mining town, Shaw investigates masculinity and how that was defined to him growing up. His thought-provoking work aims to break stigmas and stereotypes through his re-imagination of masculine ‘icons’ and objects. Through the medium of textiles, the artist pays homage to the people and places that have shaped his northern identity – the pub, football pitches and boxing gyms. Shaw has collaborated with Women’s Aid, BBC Sport and Fred Perry, graced the covers of EXIT, Perfect Magazine and Circle Zero Eight, as well as gaining features in The Guardian, The Face, Dazed, and Metal Magazine.
