Bio
Born in Gothenburg, Sweden and raised in West Vancouver, Duncan is a self-taught artist, designer and builder whose work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions since 1986. A series of informal apprenticeships in his twenties, coupled with a voracious appetite for contemporary art and industrial design, have continued to influence and refine his creative output. His beginnings in sets and props for film and television, as well as extensive experience in retail and residential construction have encouraged a wide range of materials and techniques in his art and design practice.
Using his own photography and images from the culture around him, Duncan creates multi-layered hybrids of painting and sculpture. Colour and pattern are essential to his aesthetic, with vibrating fabrics, intense textures, and saturated industrial finishes combining to rivet the viewer's gaze. These diverse surfaces become the taut skins on ever more daring adventures in composites and wood.
Duncan's preoccupation with his origins, his place in the world, and how they combine, form the springboard for a majority of his art, while some pieces are simply a celebration of the myriad ways one can play with form, image and metaphor. Layers overlap and debate each other; a captivating swirl of nuance and intensity. Life's frantic dance, frozen in three dimensions.
