REUBEN DANGOOR Spitting images The Instagram artist who bridges disparate elements of modern life and brought grime to the gallery Clockwise from above: the anti- Brexit Nahmate; General of Newham (grime star D Double E); Baron von Marlon (The Streets’ Mike Skinner); Redemption, with Gareth Southgate consoling ‘himself’ at Euro ’96 In the summer of 2018, England was a country obsessed with everything related to football and the World Cup. Amid this madness emerged an improbable hero: London-based artist Reuben Dangoor, who captured the public’s imagination with his sketches of the tournament, which he posted on Instagram. “Art and football are kind of at odds – it’s not a partnership people generally think of,” says Dangoor, reflecting on why his work was greeted with such excitement. “I got messages from big, burly sports fans who don’t usually interact with art, telling me, ‘I just bought one of your prints – it’s on the wall in my house.’ Gareth Southgate’s wife called me to ask if I could repaint my picture of him [Redemption] for his study.” This isn’t the first time that Dangoor’s art has reached an unlikely audience: his 2015 portrait series Legends of the Scene – in which he painted grime superstars including Skepta and Dizzee Rascal as landed gentry – propelled him into mainstream consciousness, prompting exhibitions at Tate Britain and the Glastonbury Festival, and landed him the job of tour-set designer for another of his subjects, Stormzy. “When the grime pictures were at Tate Britain, you had a bunch of kids who were passionate and knowledgeable about grime but hadn’t ever been to the gallery before,” says Dangoor. “They’d never felt like it offered them anything. It’s cool that they could turn up at the Tate and realise that, with my art, they were actually the experts in the room.” Football and art, grime and the aristocracy: Dangoor’s work bridges seemingly disparate parts of British society, bringing them together. “People can read into my work and take out what they want – it’s not one hundred per cent serious,” he says. “Some people might view art as highbrow or worthy, but I’m just making niche pieces, often with a punchline that resonates with people.” Dangoor plans to announce his first solo exhibition later this year, but in the meantime check out his artwork on Instagram: @reubendangoor REUBEN DANGOOR LOU BOYD 20 THE RED BULLETIN
