Benalla Art Gallery and Arts Project Australia proudly present Self in the Spotlight — a Spring Gallery Shop exhibition by Danny Lyons.
Danny Lyons is an emerging artist working in photography, video, and drawing, often incorporating personal experiences in his work. Since 2018, he has made a series of photographic works involving placing himself dressed as different celebrities in the centre of photoshopped scenes.
Lyons recently started working in video and has completed five different works titled: Cats in the Cradle, Black or White, Achy Breaky Heart, Shut Up and Dance and Mambo Number 5, based on the original film clips for these songs. Lyons has been working at Arts Project Australia since 2017 and has exhibited in group exhibitions Australia-wide.
Danny Lyons: Self in the Spotlight coincides with Benalla Art Gallery’s staging of Beyond the Boundary, an exhibition by the AFL’s Chief Photographer, Michael Willson.
