DESCRIPTION

Framed silkscreen on primed canvas | 2017

Working with the most stripped back components and features of the human face, often just ambiguous shapes to resemble the eyes and mouth, Daniel creates depictions of facial expressions that draw upon his own experiences of the excitements, exhilarations and anxieties of daily life. These animate expressions are obscured beneath a façade of soft imagery, a relatable language that draws upon the familiarity of the domestic and the everyday.

These animate expressions are obscured beneath a façade of soft imagery.

Fletcher's work is a reflection of universal insecurities and optimisms in a world where social lives are very much on the public stage, and a new visual language of comic icons is leaned on to express our emotions.

STATEMENT

Fletcher’s work is rooted in a desire to express emotion and feeling through the personification of marks and form, constructing animate facial expressions disguised beneath a playful language of the everyday. The artist’s process begins with extensive exploration of composition and color. Working primarily on canvas or paper, his gradual, precise layering pushes the boundaries of silk screen techniques to convey a playful spirit. Drawing on a universal tendency to publicize one’s life, and the insecurities that follow, Fletcher investigates our ability to express emotions through the use of comic icons. Working with the most stripped back components and features of the human face, animate expressions are obscured beneath a façade of soft imagery. The concealment itself mirrors our ability to project visions of happiness through a new visual language.
