New to Maddox Gallery include Dan Baldwin, Chris Moon & Finn Stone
Contemporary painter and ceramicist Dan Baldwin is at the forefront of the new Young British Artist movement. His mixed media work is magnificently textural, ethereal and poetic, bridging the gap between abstract and figurative by creating images dense with symbols and layers of meaning. Baldwin’s paintings, prints and ceramics have been exhibited around the world. He has enjoyed a stream of critically lauded sell-out solo shows and presented his work in art fairs in Basel, Miami, L.A, Tokyo, San Francisco, London and New York. In 2014 Baldwin collaborated with internationally acclaimed singer Paolo Nutini, creating the record cover artwork for his single ‘Scream (Funk My Life Up).
British painter Chris Moon’s work is anchored in a desire to de-construct and celebrate the minutiae of the everyday. Part abstract, part figurative, Chris Moon is exciting talent in contemporary British painting and has enjoyed recent solo shows in London and New York.
Finn Stone creates artworks by painting onto paintbrushes, transforming the brushes to become the artworks themselves. Stone pays homage to the greatest of painters and their craft, from Van Gogh, Vemeer and Da Vinci by recreating their iconic masterpieces in his signature style.
