Dan Hays

Dan Hays (born 1966) is a British artist. He has won the John Moores Painting Prize, holds a PhD in Fine Art from Kingston University, and is an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins.

His work has been described as a reflection on painting itself, intentionally referencing other artists. Hays characterises his work since the late 1990s as exploring the relationship between the digital world and the "tactile, flawed and time-consuming medium of painting".
