About the Item

Dan Withey was born 1986 in Birmingham England. In 2004 he immigrated to Australia and studied a Bachelor of Visual Communication (specialising in Illustration) at the University of South Australia. Upon graduating in 2007 with the Design Institute of Australia’s student of the year award, Withey decided to transition into a career in Visual Arts. Since this time he has had over 20 successful solo shows. His art, although addressing dilemmas of modern day society such as consumerism, the environment and freedom, are still imbued with a playful humour and humbleness that make them completely unpretentious and accessible to all audiences. As Dan’s work continues to develop in both skill fulness and substance. Clean lines, vivid colours and solid shapes are the mainstays that make up Withey’s characters. Their simplicity combines human and animal forms into creatures that are neither one nor the other. It’s also worth noticing that his characters are almost exclusively masculine suggesting their role as the artist’s alter egos. Together with their tribal elements, his characters hold a totemic quality, each with its own subtle emotion used to capture Withey’s feelings at the it was created. Paintings of this kind, which reinvent tribal imagery, will always have an appeal because they work on universal visual mechanisms. We respond intuitively to basic colour combinations and simple shapes because they remind us of the inescapable truth that we are all still animals. The use of these mechanisms becomes all the more endearing when used so openly. They politely ask us to let our guard down and remember the simple things we all have in common. Of course, when we do, we discover that it feels good.
