Daniel Boyd: Dream Time

Marian Goodman Gallery Paris presents the first solo exhibition of Daniel Boyd in France. One of Australia’s most highly regarded artists and the 2014 winner of the prestigious Bulgari Art Prize, Daniel Boyd has been showing in Australia and internationally since 2005.
With his complex and divergent works spanning an array of historical references from landscape and Western-style portraiture to the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Daniel Boyd seeks to negotiate the identity of art, history and cultural survival through his investigations of oppressed and colonial culture. His questioning of what is defined as history blends seamlessly into the confluence of his work, where he brings to the forefront the often overlooked and discarded history of his Aboriginal ancestors. “We have the oldest continuous culture on earth and it’s important to celebrate that,” said Boyd.
