Daniel David Freeman’s exhibition Graphic Detail looks at aesthetics, repetition, and how images build meaning through screen printing, drawing, painting, digital imaging and clothing design in collaboration with EDWIN Supply. 

Compositions start with multiple practices of reference, together in single images but as part of an ongoing collection. At first, the viewer may feel they’ve seen this stuff before. But as layers build, references lose familiarity. What remains is a language made up of a chronological record of making. Layering is both a practical method and a way of thinking.  

Portraiture is a constant; however, these are not portraits of specific people. The figures are unclear and post-human. DDF imagines a fictional world where these are posters for the walls of spaceship locker rooms or art from behind the dive bars of the humanoid species of the future.

DDF does however consider where art can exist here and now - clothing offers a possible answer. A garment can carry an image into everyday life. The person wearing it becomes not only a way for the work to move through public space but also another character within the world he is building.

Daniel David Freeman is a London-based artist who specializes in experimental print-making and fashion design. Influenced by subcultural style, outsider and craft art and the more subversive side of tattoo culture, he has produced a body of work that spans from painting and installation to film, animation and limited-edition garments.
