Cyrk is the studio
of Dave Gaskarth


A Birmingham born art director, designer & 3D artist based in London, working at a point where distinctions such as painting, photography, sculpture and architecture begin to dissolve.

Over the last 18 years, I’ve built a diverse client list, from Aston Martin to Universal Records and the UK Arts Council. As an artist, I’ve presented audio/visual shows at galleries and festivals across the globe, including Tate Modern, Sonar Festival, Mutek Montreal & Mexico, Unsound and the Southbank Centre.

This site is an archive of selected projects 2012 — present, rather than a commercial portfolio.

If you’d like to collaborate or just chat, please feel free to drop me a line.
