Family by Daniel Silver

Daniel Silver uses sculpture to examine the human experience, both physical and psychological. His practice is influenced by the art of the ancient world, modernism, and Sigmund Freud.

For Award 2025, Daniel will create a series of ceramic heads painted with oil paint. The clay provides a natural foundation and structure, while the paint acts as a ‘skin’, introducing movement and depth.

The Artist Talks will provide a unique insight into the work and careers of some of the artists and the work they have created especially for the 2025 Biennial.

Each talk will be 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A. They will all take place at Spode Works. Ticket fees are pay-what-you-can.
