ADAM DANT
Adam Dant lives and works in London. Dant creates dense, cartoon like drawings, often possessed of a dysfunctional semicircular logic. Mishap and folly proliferate his work. Museums are common subjects, as are maps and complicated jokes. Dant's works often take the form of wall hung drawings and have been described as Hogarthian or Swiftian especially in relation to his use of satire.
His new work continues Adam Dant's interest in depicting and interacting with the public space, the anecdotal and Utopian grand models. His previous work includes winning The Jerwood Drawing Prize for his Plan of Tate Britain, The Bureau for the Investigation of the subliminal Image, founding the City of London's livery company, The Guild of Neologists and acting as an 18th century style pamphleteer in the production and distribution of Donald Parsnips Daily Journal from 1995-2000.
Dant's drawings can be found in numerous public and private collections including The Arts Council Collection, The V&A, MOMA New York, Deutsche Bank, The Museum of London, The Government Art Collection, The Musee d'Art Contemporain Lyon and San Diego Museum of Art.
