Dael Adam Oates

Dael Oates is an conceptual, abstract artist working/residing just outside New York City. With formal training in photography at the Queensland Collage of Art and a career spanning over 2 decades in film making, Dael’s work straddles conceptual storytelling melded with the abstract visual. With a number of solo exhibitions, multiple short films, including the multi award winning ‘Death in Bloom’ and a children’s book, ‘The adventures of Cloud Girl’. Daels work explores a range of different subjects from the intersection of the industrial objects that frame our environments, like his Power-lines’ series, the attempt to visualize the idea of memories of landscapes we witness from a speeding car window as children, or our relationship with past family members, energetically bound to the spaces we inhabit, in his film ‘Maintenance’. To name a few.
