Daniel R. Watkins
Daniel Watkins (b. 1987) is an Australian multidisciplinary artist. Raised by a surrealist painter, Watlkins wields neo-expressionist chaos to dissect modernity's toxic romance with speed. His globally exhibited works expose the paradox of our era: how we perform self destruction as identity while systems monetize our collapse. Through jarring brushwork and sardonic visual language, he maps the feedback loop between personal excess and institutional profit, where every burnout becomes a commodity, every crisis a growth opportunity. These paintings don't just document decay; they enact the very acceleration they critique, trapping viewers in the adrenaline rush of their own consumption. It's art as controlled demolition, where each canvas simultaneously mirrors our compulsions and sounds the alarm.
