Duncan Bellamy (b. Cambridge, UK, 1986) is an artist based in London working across painting, photography and sound. His work examines the nature of time, mortality and the discrepancy between our digital present and the distant past. Operating between these tenses, it considers the complex dynamics at play in our relationship with images, reality and screens, and how we continue to assert what it is to be human in a period of compressed and unprecedented transformation.

He studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and is also a founding member of Mercury Prize nominated Portico Quartet. 2022’s Terrain (Extended) – Live in Studio One which was recorded at Abbey Road is perhaps the clearest distillation of the ensembles work to date.

Other ongoing artistic collaborations include a forthcoming album of sonic-poetry with author/sound artist Belinda Zhawi on AD93 records and sound work with the artist Hannah Collins for her audio-visual installation I Will Make Up A Song And Sing It In A Theatre With The Night Air Above My Head which explores the work of pioneering Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy. It has recently been exhibited at SFMOMA, San Francisco as well as Tapies Foundation, Barcelona.
