Danny Rolph uses oil and acrylic on various surfaces, including Makrolon plastic (think greenhouse roofing!). Using strokes of delicious colour that co-exists with rogue elements such as synthetic materials and plastic straws, Rolph is inspired by a range of everyday activities such as walking to the park or listening to a favourite piece of music.

Through his work, Rolph attempts to represent a tangible sense of space in two dimensions. Literal and pictorial illusions are evoked through layers of paint and plastic; each painting encompasses bold strokes of colour with linear precision that take on an almost holographic intensity.

Rolph lives and works in London, and has had solo exhibitions at Hales Gallery, Oxo Tower and Paton Gallery. He has also shown work in a number of international group shows including 'Beautiful' with Mark Wallinger and Tomoko Takahashi, and 'John I'm Only Dancing' with Hermione Wiltshire and Vito Acconci. He is also the youngest painter to make it into New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This exhibition will be accompanied by a specially commissioned text about Danny Rolph's work by London-based critic Sacha Craddock. The essay will be available from the gallery free of charge.

Danny Rolph is represented by Hales Gallery, London.
