Dai Wynn is an Australian artist working from a studio located in the leafy eastern suburb of Canterbury, about 10 kilometres due east of central Melbourne in Victoria.

Dai is an abbreviation of the Welsh Christian name of Dafydd (pronounced Dahveth) and Wynn has the meaning of “white” or “fair skinned” in Welsh.

Dai (in other contexts he answers to his given name – David) is a realist painter in oils and water colours, producing works of landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and floral arrangements, as well as portraits.

He is a regular exhibitor in the Rotary Herald-Sun Art Show in Camberwell, and in September 2008 will exhibit in the Shanghai Art Fair for the third time. The Shanghai Art Fair is the largest in China and features several hundred galleries from around the world, attracting some 65,000 visitors over five days.

Dai is represented in Shanghai by ITY’s Gallery.

Dai was one of almost 700 artists to enter the prestigious Archibald Prize for Portraiture in 2008.
