Dallas Athent is an artist and writer living in London. She’s the author of Lesser Journeys, Theia Mania, and editor of Bushwick Nightz. Her art and writing has been profiled in Mashable, Papermag, Bedford+Bowery, Gothamist, PANK, Luna Luna Magazine, At Large Magazine, BUST, Hyperallergic, xoJane and more. Her painting 'The City of Bad Children' was the first-place winner of The Holy Art's BLAST award in 2021, and she was a finalist in the 2021 Orleans House grant. She will be studying at Royal College of Art in 2024.
Using her oftentimes tragic, bizarre, theatrical and varied experiences, she’s found solace through expression in merging the body and buildings through painting. She loves the architecture of Palermo and chateau interiors, red wine, small woodland creatures, drag, Moschino and El Greco.
Dallas is currently represented by The Rights Factory (writing) and Capital Culture House (art).
