Abstract
A Darker Shade of Dark #1– 4 is a spectacularly immersive video installation and a compelling sensory experience not to be missed.Daniel Boyd is best known as a painter whose theme of inheritance concerns the stories that are lost when overtaken by dominant colonial histories. His own rich family heritage provides a narrative source that he blends with moments from history. Further, he employs artistic links to Matisse, Picasso and the role of Primitivism in modernist aesthetics. The ubiquitous use of the iconic Papunya Tula ‘dot’ in his work is equally indebted to the techniques of Pointillism and Impressionism and becomes a distorting surface veil, or lens, through which his stories are only partially revealed.
