Daniel Crews-Chubb, 1984
Daniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984, Northampton, U.K.) is a London-based artist known for his experimental collage paintings. His work interrogates the symbols and archetypes of art history through a personal mythology of figures and beasts. Through rough patchworks of torn fabric and inky spills of vivid colour, a strange race of figures emerges. Charcoal swathes define faces and figures who move within their frames, submerging us in the artist’s process. Stretching, coiling and twisting their bodies, multiple eyes meet the viewer’s gaze.
