Stuart Dalzell Aka Daz

'I was born in 1958 into a working class neighbourhood, the son of a painter and decorator from London's EastEnd. Always surrounded by household paints they triggered my fascination with art.

Although always having a passion for contemporary art I had done little to explore my own artistic aspirations until 1998 when I assisted a fellow artist in staging a presentation of paintings at the Agora Gallery on Broadway in NYC. Is was at this time that my interest in painting was rekindled and I began painting immediately on my return.

Due to exceptional interest in my work I was encouraged to present my first solo exhibition in 2001 which proved to be an unprecedented success setting a new sales record at that gallery for a new artist. Since then I have presented both solo and group work at commercial galleries throughout the UK.

My first London exhibition was in Shoreditch's New Inn Gallery at the end of November 2002 where I presented 'Urban'. A collection inspired by the exciting and colourful imagery of the advertising billboards seen on London's main commuter routes. The result was a set of six abstract paintings, each representing the momentary glance of a billboard from a travelling car at six East London locations.'
