About the Artist
Dexter Dalwood is a prominent British painter celebrated for his large-scale, conceptually rich canvases that delve into historical events and cultural memory. His distinctive practice involves meticulously researching and reconstructing scenes of political significance, celebrity deaths, or pivotal moments, often through fragmented, collaged compositions. Dalwood's paintings function as complex visual narratives, exploring how history is mediated and consumed, and challenging the notion of objective truth. His work invites viewers to consider the relationship between public events and private spaces, and the inherent subjectivity in our understanding of the past, all rendered with a sophisticated painterly touch.
