His Majesty Fallacy

James Marshall

Dalek, one of the most exciting artists from the burgeoning Brooklyn art scene, has published a collection of his most ambitious works to date. This book arrives as a celebration of his exhibit with Mike Giant, Coup d'Etat, at the Magda Danysz Gallery in Paris. Together the exhibition and the book explore the evolution of this extraordinary artist throughout his years of immersion in the American art scene, from the street to the gallery. His new body of work reveals, in a profusion and hyper-abundance of color alongside planes of space, that the familiar lines and iconic Space Monkey references that defined his earlier work are only a starting point for this new series. Each of Dalek's paintings is an innovation that has led him to the vibrant iconography that we see today, as he seamlessly fuses street art, cartoons, Japanese pop, and the energy of and the urban punk scene. Having been Takashi Murakami's assistant in 2001, Dalek has turned to the subcultures of graffiti, skateboarding and punk rock to help form his identity.

About the Author

Marshall, James: - Dalek, aka James Marshall, is one of the most exciting artists from the burgeoning Brooklyn art scene. While he has received a BFA of the Art Institute of Chicago, he is especially inspired by street art, graffiti, and televisual culture. His work has been exhibitioned in London's Apart Gallery, in New York, and in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Washington. Furthermore, he worked with Takashi Murakami. He then successfully dedicated to his own career and has shown all over the world, from Los Angeles to Paris or Tokyo. Dalek has a heritage of street art and was assistant to the Japanese artist Murakami, and from those experiences he has kept two elements: an incredible force and an unequalled precision. As he himself says laconically "it's there and in full force...". By now, the Space Monkeys Dalek produced in his childhood have lived their share of history. Inspired by the cartoon series Dr. Who, the Daleks were born of an imagination developed by the artist very young. And if they seemed to some like "merciless assassins of humanity", Dalek plays on their somewhat misanthropic instincts. But underneath it all, the Space Monkeys are "more mischievous than dangerous".
