DANIEL SINSEL
For his second solo show at the gallery, London-based artist Daniel Sinsel presents new works made of a range of materials. Mostly wall-based, the pieces rely on the conventions of viewing panel paintings but also act as found objects that we encounter rather than read into. His work evokes the traditions of the German Bauhaus of the 1920s and 30s whilst maintaining a distinct balance between visual function and decor. Sinsel's work remains independent of any existing design or architectural industry, but rather serves and provides the enclosed system and personal language of Sinsel's own vision. Pastry and chocolate have been recreated in durable matter like linen, wax, pigment or concrete, but have the gleam of a precious artifact.
