Dallas studied sculpture at the RCA from 1999-2001 and specialised in foundry art practice. In direct succession, he worked for the RCA for two years and taught sculpture in Chelsea, London, Bristol and Cardiff. In 2007 Dallas was shortlisted for the Jerwood sculpture prize with his work 'Sweet' and in 2008 was commissioned by Barratt Homes of Bristol to produce a major public art piece 'Ocular Gate' now owned by South Gloucestershire Council. Dallas has had numerous shows throughout the UK, Europe and USA and his work is held in private and public art collections. In 2009 Dallas helped initiate an artist collective; the group was shortlisted to represent Wales at the 2011, 54th Venice Biennale. He lives and works in Bristol and runs dedicated foundry research projects and sculpture summer schools for professional artists and practitioners.
In 2018 Dallas was selected to become an academician and member of the council, and in 2020 a Trustee of the Board of the Royal West of England Academy, Bristol. Also in 2018 Dallas was selected as a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
