Daniel Crews-Chubb, 1984
Daniel Crews-Chubb was born in Northampton, England in 1984.
He studied at Turps Art School, London and Chelsea College of Arts, London. Crews-Chubb is quickly garnering international recognition for his innovative, experimental collage paintings, which mine the legacies of Art Brut, Arte Povera, and Abstract Expressionism, and interrogate symbols and archetypes of art history. As David Pagel of the Los Angeles Times writes, “If Crews-Chubb’s paintings were billboards, they’d stop traffic. But there’s more going on than immediately meets the eye. To look closely is to see how deliberately, even carefully, each is made … You don’t need to know what they reference in order to come face to face with their beauty, which is down and dirty and so far from pretty that you might start to think that beauty without a touch of grunge or even ugliness is not all it’s cracked up to be.”
