Born in Madrid, 1977, David Agenjo is a self-taught artist living and working in London. After a brief career as a graphic designer, he now devotes himself entirely to painting. He has been exhibited in New York, London, Dublin and Madrid.

His primary focus is on the human body, communicating a personal engagement through colour and texture allowing us to reconnect with the architecture of living beings. He develops each new painting on top of his previously used palette, fusing the given abstract random colours and textures with new layers of figurative depiction to create a new organic composition.This interlinks the whole body of his work, each painting affecting the next in a natural reproductive-like process.

Ontario-based artist Dale Dunning combines typography and sculpting to create his intricately welded bronze and aluminum sculptures. The metallic masks are made of hundreds of typefaces, like a figurative stamp. The letters that make up each androgynous face serves as a symbol of communication and knowledge. The sculptor’s creations vary in texture, whether they are presenting a grid of fonts or a meld of thousands of bolts, screws, and washers.

Dunning focuses on the head without the distraction of limbs and the rest of the body because the head itself is an emblem of the mind. He says, “The head is universally recognized, easy to identify with. We live in our heads, see, feel, and experience the world in our head. It serves as the foundation upon which I can develop various paths to explore.”
