Having worked for many years as a graphic designer – collaborating with the likes of Channel 4, BBC2 and Channel 5 – Daniel Eatock‘s coalescence of art, photography and sculpture has a graphic quality that sets it apart from that of his contemporaries. You’re never quite sure whether you’re looking at an ad campaign, an artwork or a found situation; and we’re sure Eatock’s contrary nature is more than happy with that.
His website encourages visitors, fans and fellow artists to collaborate – uploading alternative no-smoking signs, photos of your camera strap (attached to your camera) and of lightbulbs… the moment you turn them off. It’s fair to say that this artist personifies the eclectic, energetic nature of British creativity – the perfect fit for Create GB…
