Buried Beneath The Surface

About

‘Buried Beneath the Surface’ uses test prints as a base to explore the recurring themes of opposing forces, often found throughout Dalek’s artworks. This exhibition plays with rigidity and fluidity across multiple planes, creating layered depths of flashing colours, space, and movement.

In this new body of work, Dalek experiments with a series of his test prints as the foundations for his vibrant explosion of hand-painted geometric shapes, including his iconic ‘Space Monkey’. His intuitive eye for perspective is translated across varying mediums, as he applies paint on top of prints, transforming the initial test concept into a realised original piece. Each layer, material, and composition, creates a unique experience of considered uncertainty, as Dalek allows each element to find it’s own place and meaning in the moment.
