Paintings by Dan Baldwin

In his work, Dan Baldwin creates a landscape that simultaneously reflects reality, the power of the imagination and the private, inner workings of his mind. His style has a unique aesthetic which is difficult to categorize. Working by instinct, it can change dramatically depending on the subject matter he is exploring and the emotions he is channeling.Baldwin simultaneously balances the enigma that is adulthood, with a dash of innocence. His paintings  and sculptures throughly demonstrate his talents.

Born in Manchester , Dan Baldwin studied at Eastbourne College of Art and Design and then Maidstone School of Art,(Kent Institiute of Art and Design). Baldwin’s work is collected and exhibited nationally and internationally.
