Dallas’ former career as an aerospace engineer and eclectic interest in objects, engineering and science have always played an important part within his work, whether it’s science fiction or science fact. Dallas sees the collaboration between art and science as an important part of his work due to the commonalities in the questions pursued by their respective practices. Dallas states ‘Artists and physicists can influence one another’s work by offering complementary perspectives on these questions of time, entropy and life. There is always something beautiful about the exploration that takes place in an art studio and the methodical and intentional exploration that science has’. Dallas shows we all have common interests and different approaches in discovering its true nature and his art tries to continually follow these paths to reveal a world that resides behind the mirror...
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'. 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 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. He now 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.
