Dave Hurn (°1981, Cambridge, United Kingdom) makes photos, installations, mixed media artworks and conceptual artworks. With a conceptual approach, Hurn makes work that generates diverse meanings. Associations and meanings collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image.
His photos directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By studying sign processes, signification and communication, he considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality.
His works are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship. By focusing on techniques and materials, he tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
His works question the conditions of appearance of an image in the context of contemporary visual culture in which images, representations and ideas normally function. Dave Hurn currently lives and works in Carlisle.
