Adam Dant

This limited edition catalogue accompanies Dant's solo exhibition at The New Art Gallery Walsall and remarkably is the first monograph on this unique artist.Dant creates large, richly layered, dense, cartoon-like drawings that demand focus and concentration from the viewer. His meticulously researched works often represent mishap and folly and often take place within recognisable buildings and institutions. Common subjects include museums, maps and complicated jokes. His makes a satirical commentary on contemporary life and can be associated with the traditions of Hogarth and Swift.
