Daniel Silver was born in 1972 in London, United Kingdom. Raised in Jerusalem, Silver returned to London to complete his studies. He now lives and works in London. Silver primarily uses sculpture and watercolor. Informed by the work of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Henry Moore, Franz West and Louise Bourgeois, his practice explores the tension between representation and embodiment: between the presence of images and the phenomenological weight of objects. His three-dimensional works share qualities with both resolved figures and incomplete forms. They emerge out of the artist's continued engagement with classical sculpture, including Greco-Roman sarcophagi and portrait busts, which he re-interprets through the prisms of Modern sculpture and African art. Silver’s ambiguous anthropomorphic shapes appear as the enduring witnesses of unspeakable historical events. They seem at once petrified and eroded into being, as if baring formal testimony to an indeterminate passage of time.
