Dan Baldwin (British, b. 1972) Disneyland Horrorshow / Politics Fuck Up #2, 2006 Giclee and silkscreen print with varnish on 310gsm paper Signed, titled and numbered 37/150 in pencil 80 x 80 cm (31 x 31 in) Born in Manchester, Dan Baldwin is known for his vibrant style that blends the abstract and the figurative to create bold and vibrant pieces of art. Recognised as one of the leading figures in the Young British Artist movement, since early on in his career Dan has been established globally. Reflecting reality and imagination, Dan’s works are manifestations of his own mind, integrated with themes of love, memory, politics and psychological wonderings. Taking inspiration from everything, Dan’s work includes references to Pop Art as well as traditional Dutch painting. Most of Dan’s work takes the form of silkscreen prints. Integrating the real with the imaginary, Dan layers his work, both physically and conceptually. Glazes, collage and even diamond dust sit on silkscreen surfaces to give a textural depth to Dan’s work. Recurring motifs of skeletons, flowers, knives and cartoon figures characterise Dan’s style, with the stark contrast between them making for art that is both sinister and fantastical. The symbolism and stories that construct Dan’s work function to address each of us individually, making for a viewing experience that is personal and entirely unique. Dan trained at Eastbourne College of Art before continuing his studies at Kent Institute of Art. This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
