Daniel Blumberg: Silverpoint Drawings

Daniel Blumberg (born 1990, London) is an artist and composer whose visual practice focuses on silverpoint drawing. His work is characterized by an intense economy of means and a disciplined engagement with line, gesture, and material.

His work has been exhibited and performed internationally at institutions including the Triennale, Milan; ICA, London; Kunsthal, Rotterdam; the Venice Biennale; Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; and the Bourse de Commerce, Paris.
Alongside his visual practice, Blumberg has an internationally recognized career as a musician and composer. He has released six solo albums on Mute Records and composed acclaimed film scores, including The Brutalist, for which he received the Academy Award (Oscar) and BAFTA Award for Best Original Score in 2025. His work as a composer has also been recognized with nominations from the Golden Globe Awards, Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, Seattle Film Critics Society Awards, and the Society of Composers & Lyricists.
