Art Fair
Daniel Boyd Sharjah Biennial 16
Daniel Boyd's mark-making, as seen in his works on view at the Sharjah Biennial, is reflective of the Gestalt theory of perception:
The mind interprets an organized whole through the multitude of lenses, a form of gestalt, as a means to perceive the work; additionally, the profusion of dots represents the collective viewpoint.
With his complex and divergent works spanning an array of historical references from landscape and Western-style portraiture to the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Boyd seeks to negotiate the identity of art, history and cultural survival through his investigations of oppressed and colonial culture. His questioning of what is defined as history blends seamlessly into the confluence of his work, where he brings to the forefront the often overlooked and discarded history of his Aboriginal ancestors.
