Following seeing Alasdair Duncan's work at an exhibition organized by the Royal Academy over the Summer, we invited the artist to join our resource. Although highly graphic in style, Duncan’s work is rooted in conceptual art.

Duncan's work looks at first to appropriate a corporate language of bubble diagrams, organisation charts and logos, throws in a wry comment on the meaning of art, some bold, hard-working graphic design, then a visual soundtrack to some abstract Japanese pop and so on, through infinite permutations of figures, circles and rectangles in an equally diverse range of formats, enamel badges, flags, murals, even furniture and performance works.

Their meaning can be as ambiguous as an orange circle, but that’s the point - they are bright and playful, rather than tied dogmatically to a canvas or overburdened with explanatory notes.
