 Based in Paris, Blake has to date, been a resident edition ~ verso artist on three occasions. These remarkably productive stays have seen first, two softground etchings, followed by a series of monotypes and Daniels’ most recent visit in December 2021/January 2022 resulted in a series of four multi-plate colour etchings for their solo show, Triumph of the Southern Suburbs at Matthew Brown Gallery in Los Angeles, USA. 

Blake is the recipient of the Edward L. Ryerson Fellowship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Masters in Fine Arts from the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg). 

Blake’s paintings visualize moments of intimacy with history, both lived and remembered, depicting bodies and landscapes which are constantly being altered, dislocated and fragmented through their internalization of the socially built histories they experience. Reconfiguring figure and ground relationships, Blake weaves tales of love remembered and times forgotten, never allowing a definitive line to be established between abstraction and figuration.

Daniels was included in the critical survey 100 Painters of Tomorrow published through Thames & Hudson, and has exhibited internationally at Beers London, London, UK; Blank Projects, Cape Town, ZA; Room, Johannesburg, ZA; Canwood Gallery, Herefordshire, UK; Sullivan Gallery, Chicago, USA; Monfai Arts Centre, Chiang Mai, THA; Fresh Exhibitions, Savannah, USA., Challery, Vienna, AUT, Matthew Brown Gallery L.A USA and Galerie Julien Cadet Paris, FR.
