Daniel MacCarthy’s work encompasses painting, printmaking and drawing. He uses a combination of observation and memory to create works that address our emotional connection to the landscape. The intersection of the man-made with the natural world form the basis of his most recent paintings, in which references to mythology and personal memories are subtly intertwined to create elusive narratives. Whether in allegorical motifs such as the recurring use of weeds or complex characters such as the forager, MacCarthy’s work transports the viewer to a place that sits between reality and fantasy.

MacCarthy studied at the Royal Drawing School and on the Turps Studio Programme in London. He is a recipient of the Sidney Nolan Trust Resident Artist Award. His work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, Switzerland, Germany, France and Italy, as well as in the collections of Stella McCartney, London; Dumfries House, Scotland; The Peninsula Hotel, London; The Moritz-Heyman Collection, Tuscany; The Branca Collection; Milan. He has exhibited with Canopy Collections, London; Ben Parsons x Hannah Payne, Oxford; The Sidney Nolan Trust, Wales; Hastings Contemporary; Galera, Milan.
