The Dance of 1000 Faces Summary

The Dance of 1000 Faces by David Shillinglaw

The Dance takes the form of a book; an exhibition and selection of journal drawings, paintings and murals. The book provides an insight into the cryptic and the detailed, often very personal, artwork that David produces while on his travels. For Shillinglaw, the journal is the destination. The faces and figures I draw, especially the journal drawings, are mirrors of myself and of those around me. My friends, people walking down the street, or people in the news. The content and forms shifts every day; bending and contorting like reflections in a hall of mirrors. The faces and figures are a portrait of every man and every woman, sexless, ageless, generic, colourless, multi-coloured, two faced, grimacing, gurning and grinning, all in constant flux.

About David Shillinglaw

David Shillinglaw's art explores themes of identity and the human condition, whether a complex anatomical diagram or simple stick man. Drawing on ideas from ancient mythology as well as popular culture, the artist creates a dialogue between the historic and the contemporary. Shillinglaw often paints directly onto found objects, forging a candid relationship between himself and his shifting environment. Shillinglaw was born in the Middle East, which may explain his thirst for travel. Since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2002 he has exhibited in galleries in Japan, China, and throughout Europe, making his mark in key cities such as New York, Paris, Istanbul and Cape Town. Shillinglaw's work moves between street and studio, from small hand made books, to paintings on canvas and large-scale wall murals.
