Neequaye Dreph Dsane (b. 1973, Nottingham, England) works across painting, drawing, printmaking and large-scale street murals. His practice explores the relationship between drawing and painting, drawing on observation, memory and collage. Community sits at the heart of his enquiry, capturing moments in time in which his subjects inhabit both real and imagined spaces. Dsane is particularly drawn to the nuances of human connection, with recent work reflecting on intimacy, friendship, isolation and the complexities of familial relationships.

A former secondary school art teacher and lecturer in illustration, he is currently undertaking an MFA in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL. He lives and works in London.
