Daniel Boyd Now Represented by Marian Goodman Gallery
Marian Goodman Gallery is pleased to announce our representation of Daniel Boyd.
With his complex and divergent works spanning an array of historical references from landscape and Western-style portraiture to the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Daniel Boyd seeks to negotiate the identity of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. “We have the oldest continuous culture on earth and it's important to celebrate that,” said Boyd.
Daniel Boyd was born in 1982 in Cairns. Now a resident of Sydney, Boyd studied art at the Australian National University’s School of Art & Design in Canberra. His heritage spans several Nations including Kudjala, Ghungalu, Wangerriburra, Wakka Wakka, Gubbi Gubbi, Kuku Yalanji, Bundjalung, Yuggera and ni-Vanuatu.“Daniel’s artistic practice and concerns resonate with our program, which champions artists with ambitious and visionary work," Philipp Kaiser, President and Partner, Marian Goodman Gallery, told ARTnews. "The Gallery has had a history of providing a critical US platform for international artists since its founding and developed an ever-more global focus since the early ’90s. We’re thrilled that Daniel is joining us.”
