"My work is always about life,harmony & balance but often explores the fine line between that and death. I love to contradict and put opposing factors together, innocence with decay, symbolism and religion, nature and war -etc.. I want to present elements that force a dialogue between all the elements, and make the viewer think about their connections. It all links. ." Dan Baldwin

The complete set of 'Love & Light' Silkscreen editions
Love & Light | The Collection
TAP Art Gallery are delighted to present the exciting silkscreen editions by Dan Baldwin. His Love and Light series came about from a one-day project for CALM charity (Campaign Against Living Miserably) in 2018. In this series, Baldwin released a small, singular three-way colour combination of the swallow. The title Love and Light was chosen as a reminder to remain on the positive side of life. A year later, he worked with CALM again, this time collaborating with designer Mercy Delta to create a repeat-patterned silk shirt with the swallow from the Love and Light print.

The idea...
"I made Full Moon in 2010, it was a small work on paper, It was originally titled Dog Eat Dog, I always wanted to see it as a larger work, this was the perfect project to experiment, I love how the unique backgrounds change the way we view the work each time, theres an appeal about unique one off silkscreen, like warhol, each background is different, then printed in the same place with the same top layer, but with different results."

The meaning...
The motifs with which he plays often reccur- skeletons, swallows, crucifixes, childrens' story book illustrations, spiders, robins, trees, knives, flowers, cartoon figures- and are often contradictory, creating an uncomfortable and sometimes sinister paradox. Each motif has a meaning (swallows generally signify innocence for example), although the meanings can vary slightly from print to print depending on the overall ethos of the piece. Symbolism is key to Baldwin's oeuvre- both his own interpretation and the personal response of each viewer. These symbols of death, life and love reflect Baldwin's preoccupation with the 'big questions' of human existence.
