DAN HIPKIN

Dan has had a deep love of materials and the way they are used. Being a maker of things since an early age. In 2006, he set up the recently deceased art gallery ink_d in Brighton, UK, turning a rundown ex-tatoo parlour into a British contemporary art institution much loved by collectors and artists alike.

​

Dan had the opportunity to work alongside these artists both as a curator as well as a printmaker and studio assistant.
