Daniel Boyd

Daniel Boyd is one of Australia's most acclaimed young artists. Boyd’s practice is internationally recognised for its manifold engagement with the colonial history of the Australia-Pacific region.

Drawing upon intermingled discourses of science, religion and aesthetics, his work reveals the complexity of perspectives through which political, cultural and personal memory is composed. Boyd has both Aboriginal and Pacific Islander heritage and his work traces this cultural and visual ancestry in relation to the broader history of Western art.
