Hales Gallery is happy to announce that Adam Dant has been announced as the official Election Artist for the 2015 General Election.
The House of Commons has selected Dant, commissioned by the Speaker’s Advisory Committee on Works of Art, to document the General Election's processes and outcomes. The artwork will be his unique interpretation of the General Election based on his experience of the campaign trail. He will record the main themes of the election whilst at the same time exploring the concerns and activities of the electorate. He will travel around the United Kingdom observing electioneering in the run up to polling day and some of his initial sketches will be shared on parliamentary social media channels during the election period. His final, completed work will join the Parliamentary Art Collection later in 2015.
