Dale Grimshaw,biography

ARTIST STATEMENT - 2008

My most recent concern artistically is with how we experience the visual world. I believe we see fragments and focus randomly on the impressions we encounter. Images and movement are viewed not purely in a sequential animation but more in the manner of a jigsaw that our brain works instantaneously to join up and make sense of. In my current work I am unpicking this process and aiming to show the viewer the world as they truly see it.

BIOGRAPHY

Dale was born in Lancashire in 1971. He studied at Blackburn College of Art and then went on to achieve his Batchelor of Art degree at Middlesex University.

Dale won the Apthorp Fund for young artists and then went on to win the Liquitex Student Award in the USA. He has exhibited at the Academy of Arts in New York and in the Cable and Wireless exhibition in London. He has also had a show at the Rainbird Gallery in Farringdon and is one of their featured artists on the Artistbank website. Dale undertook extensive mural work in Cairo. He also won a large commission to produce the biblical paintings for the Millennium Church in Dublin. In 2005 Dales’ work was featured in the TV show ‘A Brush With Fame’. In addition to this Dale illustrated various punk record covers.

After a break from his artwork, when he pursued a career in the music industry, in 2006 Dale was a finalist in the both Pride in the House and Liberte D’expression competitions.

Public collections include Trent Park, Middlesex University and the London Borough of Barnet.

NEWS

Following Dales' hugely successful solo show at Signal Gallery in Hoxton in April 2008 he is now working towards a further solo show in January 2009, also at Signal Gallery.

Signal Gallery will be releasing further editions of hand finished lithographic prints over the next few months. The next set will be 'Turning Point' and 'The New Labours of Hercules' and will be available in early July 2008.
