Originally from Sheffield, Duncan Swann is now based in Munich. Although Duncan works in collage, photography, and installation, it is a series of his works using acrylics that aspex will be showing as part of EMERGENCY5.
In Duncan’s words, ‘Painted in black acrylic on white paper, the work engages directly with notions of the mask and a confrontation with ‘the other”.
‘These paintings are quickly rendered to give only the necessary amount of information for an image which should be familiar and ‘everyday’ but nonetheless ambiguous – a juxtaposition of the known and unknown.’
