Jay Dahler - BA (Hons) Fine Art
Jay Dahler’s immersive—and often uncomfortable oil paintings carve out a space of total absurdism. Awkward, humorous, and unapologetically strange, his work plays with the unpredictability of everyday life and invites viewers to sit with discomfort. At the heart of his practice is a curiosity about what makes us laugh—how tension and the unexpected can twist reality into comedy. Inspired by the awkward brilliance of sitcoms like Peep Show and The IT Crowd, leaning into his own sense of weirdness, building a visual world rooted in British discomfort and deadpan humor.
