Daniel Talbot-Mason

Informed by Affect Theory and the ties between society, politics and the body, Daniel Talbot-Mason's work is an affirming cry of living, pushing the boundaries of self portraiture - what it can look like and what it can do. Daniel's technical dexterity is startling, working across a broad range of mediums including metal, fabric, and laser cut engraved acrylic. These disparate pieces share bold, limited contrasting colour palettes and confident silhouettes. The large scale sculptural 'Transformation' is indisputably there, its presence strong and looming. The double-helix structure interspersed with clay faces can be seen as the ultimate self-portrait, as interest in genetics and DNA profiling grows, plumbing the depth of selfhood to the very core whilst necessarily linking the self to the shared parental contribution to DNA. The reaching hands in 'Constructs' invites comparisons with contemporary South Korean artist Choi Jeong Hwa's installations using everyday objects such as washing up gloves, as the soft contours of the digits contrast with the smooth, unforgiving metal poles. Both 'Pieced Back Together Again' and 'Bird Shit On Your Shoulder' are both rendered with a laser cutter, producing a unique quality of colour and line, at once soft and bold. Daniel is a 2023 Central Saint Martins Graduate, and a New Blood Art Emerging Art Prize nominee.
