BIOGRAPHY

Dale was born in Lancashire. He studied at Blackburn College of Art and then went on to achieve his Bachelor of Art degree at Middlesex University.

As a student Dale won the Apthorp Fund for young artists and then went on to win the Liquitex Student Award in the USA. As a result he was able to exhibit at the Academy of Arts in New York and in the Cable and Wireless exhibition in London. After graduating he initially showed with the Rainbird Gallery in Farringdon. During this perod Dale worked on a number of large commissions including a series of biblical paintings for the Millennium Church in Dublin and extensive mural work in Cairo.

After a break from his artwork, when he pursued a career in the music industry, Dale returned to painting and was quickly featured in the TV show ‘A Brush With Fame’. In 2006 Dale was a finalist in the both Pride in the House and Liberte D’expression competitions.

Dale had his first solo show, Echoes And  Exorcisms, at Signal Gallery Hoxton in London in April 2008. This show was extremely successful and he rapidly became one of the leading up-and- coming artists in the London Urban Art scene. This lead to being invited to take part in a number of festivals across the UK including 2008 the Supercans Festival and also Upfest in Bristol in 2008 and 2009, where his outdoor work created quite a stir. More recently he has contributed to the Street Art scene with a series of striking and dramatic woodcuts prints that he has pasted up in London and Europe.

He has contributed works to several high profile charitable events, notably the Street Art awards where his work was chosen to feature in an article in The Independent newspaper and on the BBC.

Dales' second solo show, 'Heart In Darkness' at Signal Gallery in January 2009 proved to be a huge success, as anticipated. His next solo show 'Arcana' was also very well received, leading to a large amount of press coverage, including a thirty page feature in Mynameis magazine.  He has continued to take part in a number of high profile group shows in the UK and abroad (see the NEWS page). His next solo show at Signal Gallery opens on the 6th October 2011.
