Dominic Wilcox exhibition at Analogue
DOMINIC WILCOX is an artist, designer, inventor and 'thinkeruper' who works within the territory of the everyday. Everyday objects, environments, buildings, human interaction, no area of normality is out of reach. His work, which is usually layered with an ultra dry wit, places a spotlight on the banal, always adding a new, alternative perspective on things we take for granted.
Since graduating from Ron Arad's Design Products MA course at the Royal College of Art in 2002, his work, which includes the notorious War bowl, has been exhibited widely around the world. He has been commissioned to make his unique and inventive creations by individuals and brands such as Nike, Esquire magazine, Paul Smith and Helena Christensen's Vipp charity auction where he created an automatic playing xylophone bin.
Wilcox works under the philosophy of using creativity as a central hub from which to express his thoughts in whatever medium or technique is most appropriate including objects, installations and drawings. The design and architecture magazine Icon features Wilcox's sketched inventions each month under the title The lost sketchbooks. He also adds a new idea each week to his popular blog VARIATIONS ON NORMAL.
Exhibition runs from 4th September – 2nd October.
