Dallas’ former career as an aircraft engineer and eclectic interest in objects, science and science fiction have been the focal point for most of his art. His work brings personal and intimate feelings together through the subjective mechanism that exists deep within us all and the ability to create and play. Dallas’ work explores the idea of the aftermath of an uncontrolled chaotic event and the post-apocalyptic space that's left behind. The work is frozen in a historical state of change and cast in bronze and various materials. His work is an exploration of casting and fluidity of a substance where there is a feeling that matter, while temporarily taking on transient form, is capable of morphing into something else. The order and disorder he weaves into his work can be read as a manifestation of entropy that is distilled down to its true essence. This evidence gives the viewer a sense of wonderment of the things that sometimes reside behind the mirror and not always in front.
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 more years and taught sculpture in Chelsea, London, Bristol and Cardiff. He now lives in Bristol. From his studio, Dallas runs dedicated foundry research projects and sculpture summer schools for professional artists and practitioners.
In 2007 Dallas was short-listed for the Jerwood sculpture prize with his work ‘Sweet’ and In 2008 was commissioned by Barratt homes of Bristol to produce a major large-scale bronze piece ‘Ocular Gate’ for a new housing development in Bristol. Dallas has had numerous exhibitions and shows throughout the UK and abroad and his work is held in several private and public art collections. In 2009 Dallas helped initiated an artist collective; the group was short-listed to represent Wales at the 54th Venice Biennale 2011.
