In the exhibition TALES OF HERE AND LATER, Blake Daniels' paintings occupy a visual vocabulary suspended between fact and fiction, while playing with contested forms of desire. The artist seeks to question the modes and methods of how we visualise genealogies and experienced narratives.
In several of the larger scaled oil works, bodies and spaces are at turn obscured, dislocated and fragmented within the painted surface; as a means of contending with the inherent hybridism that occurs between representation and
abstraction as both a tool for formal and social critique.
