5 Pieces Gallery

Daniel Lumbini's (1978, London/UK) work in an empirical remix of modern and classical techniques: much as a dj may sample an idea, his paintings are a visceral collusion of media and original composition that don't hope to convey any elusive context, but instead come to a far more obvious conclusion: To pioneer something new you have to steal something old .... and then do it better. The figures Daniel creates then are like a metaphor for awkwardness, or vanity, or perhaps evolution. Or maybe he really likes playing Mr. Potato Head?
