About Dan


Baldwin has exhibited alongside Banksy, Antony Micallef, Jamie Hewlett, Jamie Reid, Tracey Emin, Julian Opie, Peter Blake and Vic Reeves, amongst many others. He graduated in Illustration/communication media in 1995 from Maidstone School of Art after a stint at the Eastbourne College of Art.

His work deals with topics such as innocence, life-death, vanitas, love, politics and symbolism. The collecting of “real” elements has always been an important part of the layering process, and in the past he has used real Iraq and U.S. currency, vintage crucifixes and real bullets in his work. Although primarily a painter, Baldwin produces ceramics and sculpture.
