Essentially a video artist, Daniel Crooks (based in Melbourne) produces images that similarly reflect a keen interest in contemporary culture, particularly cinema. His work exploits technological and scientific developments in the medium, sometimes to surreal effect, sometimes achieving a lucid, haunting romanticism that relates to landscape and the representation of natural beauty. In this, like Gladwell, he borrows from nineteenth-century paintings of the sublime. (Sherman Galleries, 2004)
