biography

Duncan Swann is from Sheffield. He lives and works in Munich, Germany.

 

statement

Duncan Swann graduated in painting from the RCA Fine Art MA in 2004. He has exhibited extensively both in the UK and internationally, including East International, Jerwood Contemporary Painters, Rachmaninoff Gallery London, Michael Kohn Gallery LA and Engholm Engelhorn, Vienna.

Swann's work encompasses painting, collage, photography, installation and writing. Recurrent themes in his work include power relationships, colonialism, the mask and confrontations with 'the other.' Recent work has included a large number of works on paper. Painted in black acrylic on white, the paintings are quickly rendered to give only the necessary amount of information for an image which should be familiar and 'everyday' but nonetheless ambiguous - a juxtaposition of the known and the unknown.
