Untitled presents a Disney castle on a hill that is dwarfed by a fire-breathing dragon.

Daniel Pace's small works on paper are executed in pencil with blocks of solid colour and strong outlines, often on coloured surfaces. He is also a skilled ceramicist and digital artist. Regardless of the medium he is working in, he is an ardent fan of Disney and the films of Tim Burton, both of which inspire and inform his practice. To view his work is to connect with a range of fantastical characters portrayed in much the same style as they were originally created, yet lovingly re-interpreted to reflect Pace's unique perspective. Pace has been an artist at Arts Project Australia since 2010. He has been included in numerous group exhibitions including Melbourne Art Fair and was a finalist in SMALLWORKS Art Prize and Connected in Melbourne. His work is held in private collections in Australia.
