Originating in Sydney, Australia, self-taught artist Dean Carroll specialises in bold acrylic canvases with heavy textures and intense blends. His background in technical drawing and work as an award winning tattoo artist provide an insight into his strong understanding of line and dimension.

Having first exhibited in his adopted home of Darwin Australia in 2013, Dean’s portfolio now displays a movement away from intricate brushwork and muted tones towards a more self-assured bolder style. Exploring life and movement with heavy brushwork and deep tonal progressions, Dean’s current work is heavily influenced by power and dynamic form in nature.

In February 2014 Dean reached out and received a special recognition award for his “D-day on Sydney” in the Light Space & Time cityscapes art competition.

Dean is currently working on exhibiting his “2014 Acrylic Canvas” series for his second solo exhibition in Darwin NT this coming winter.

His recent return from Canada will also see his Snowscape Mini-series “Big White” up for sale right here in the online store.
