Shona Heath is one of Britain’s leading Set Designers and Creative Directors. Her Surrealist Art-inspired sets have contributed to some of the most iconic fashion images of the last 10 years. In this episode of A Life Less Ordinary, Shona invites us into her London studio and explains how she became interested in Surrealism as a child, how a shared passion for art historical references drives her creative relationship with acclaimed photographer Tim Walker, and how Surrealist artists such as Francis Picabia, Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning and Kay Sage have influenced her work. Ahead of our upcoming Impressionist, Modern & Surrealist Art Evening Sale (4 February | London) and Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale (5 February | London), Shona will also join Sotheby’s specialists for a discussion of the enduring influence of Surrealism at the V&A Museum in London, where her work is also currently on display at the exhibition ‘Tim Walker: Wonderful Things’.

"What is the wrongest color I can paint something" that caught me
Well, if you're searching for the wrongest color and you find it, then it becomes the best
This can be intuitive too, like Chagall...
The film production crew behind this video did honour her work!
I love that you noticed and mentioned that!
Surrealism is a lot like never having to leave childhood or evolve into adulthood. Beautiful.
That's a perfect description.Maybe why I have always been drawn to surrealism.The dreamlike images and symbols are what I love.And of course the color and composition.

Enggak ah ..
When reality is too much to bear, you find your ways to express a glimpse of fantasy in your head. Creation in its physical form.
Beautifully made video. The music, the transitional cuts, the setting, the featured work. Super!
Beyond enjoying the gorgeous images of this video, I particularly liked how Shona Heath talked about other artists, and the emotional connection she has with art. So much of contemporary art criticism is chock-full of vapid jargon borrowed from semiotics, post-structuralism, or deconstruction.
Cheers to discussing art in a direct and stimulating way!
I think they wanted to show too much in too little time. There's enough content, why not make it 10 min long and let her work sink in.
She is extraordinary..
she is the most beautiful soul in the modern art … incomparable taste , grace , elegance , depth and compassion for the humanity , is everywhere is her work … probably because work with the fashion industry some could consider her somehow shallow … but look at her work again … nothing more profound … she is what Dalí would aspire to be … no other young live artist have achieved what she have done without effort … alone in her studio diving in her thoughts , memories , perceptions full of colors … wow amazing
WOW. Need to see more of this.
Her work with Tim Walker is beautiful! I love it so much!
Omg her work is awesome. Also I love her voice so muchhhhhh
What an absolutely fantastic way of describing surrealism. She is mesmerizing!
I Love it so much. Studying the surrealist artists for fun, and am so happy to find her. Wonderfully talented.

Wow, amazing work
This was magnificent.

Stunning work, thank you!
Love seeing more women representing production and set design
Isn't it pretty much all women now? ( I'm not being facetious. Just what I've seen)
One day people will just give credit to peoples work. People like you making everything about gender and identity politics are becoming very tedious.
@@vinniegiles374 lol it’s not that deep. I’m just glad that they’re getting the spotlight for a change. Tighten up, G.
@@Arigato_Aj Oh my god it gets better. You kick off with the word Lol, the preserve of 14 year olds from 2003 and then go on to misspell 'Lighten' while calling me G. I rest my case.
@@vinniegiles374 Okay Vinnie, whatever makes you feel good.
Wowwwww... felt like meeting her in person
A person who lives by aesthetics 💜 unbelievable
That was my first art book too. 🥰
Lovely artist and beautiful interview! 🌼
This is brilliant and very inspiring to me. I’ve wanted to be a set designer ever since I could remember and I can’t wait to design more sets
Brilliant.

Excellent artistic DNA 🧬

Great layout and taste for the design.. Not a easy thing to do as we know since we deal with so many soft furnishing projects in Singapore.
I'm not really a fan of Surrealism, but her work is interesting!! Great video!!
what a likable person
very inspiring!
0:50 harry styles 😭😭😭✨💕
OMG~~I've been trying to remember and find "Masquerade" by Kit William!!! I loved those series of paintings as a young artist but I couldn't find or remember it (other than the treasure hunt). I love her for acknowledging one of my favorite artist and influences which is Dali. I stopped the video at 2 minute just to say thank you after a moment of elation. I'm still in shock. Thank you. You are such a Great Artist. You know why? Because you do great Art work! 💯❤️👏⭐️🎨🎥☝️🌹
So very talented.

I feel like this should have Florence and the machine music playing . ❤️
Oh please spare me.
life flickers by
Erik Satie's dark surreal music in the background.
Cuz what was the song playing at the end? 😅
Her "broken" voice is cure and her work is amazing
