Alex Daw’s collages and paintings (often of collages) refer to art-historical paintings, films, cartoons, found ephemera, and Google image search results. Born in 1982, Daw lives and works in London. His work has been exhibited widely, including throughout London and at the 2012 Santorini Biennale. You can find out more at his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daw’s portfolio appears in\u00a0Issue Three<\/a>\u00a0where Ariane Fairlie writes,<\/p>\n

\n

The scenes Alex Daw creates for his viewers are ones of fantastic play and uneasy pleasure. He slices together small pieces of visual information until they all fit meticulously and into one unit. His compositions are dense and he uses little white space, if any at all, engaging the entire surface in a very ambitious way.\u00a0 The viewer does not get caught on any specific area for too long. Your eye wanders and loops around and around endlessly discovering more about the composition and creating new connections between the visual languages.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
