The Project Cafe in partnership with Sol de Goa presents Allen Shaw, who celebrates `20 years of sketchbooks,’ on February 15 with an exhibition of watercolours and stories at Sol de Goa.

With an acute perception for detail, an innate sensitivity, and a Third Eye that sees from within, Shaw’s hunger for travel and watercolours was harnessed into a formidable voice at the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, where he spent six years learning the multi-faceted techniques of design. Graduating in Communication Design with a specialisation in Animation Film Design, Shaw soon put his talent to work, drawing the attention of art connoisseurs from across India and internationally. An avid traveller-artist, capturing flights of imagination into 150 odd sketchbooks created over a 20 year journey across Japan, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Italy, France, Croatia, Goa and more, today Shaw is a forceful storyteller of his generation.

The exhibition is curated and organised by The Project Cafe at Sol de Goa, Nerul
