Portrait of Tevin Anthony Causon, Co-Founder & Curator at Causon Daniels

Tevin Anthony Causon

Co-Founder & Curator

Tevin studied art in college and university, though he left the latter with self-doubt in his own ability. He went on to build a successful career in recruitment and finance, but the desire to work with art never dimmed. That long-held pull eventually brought him back to the market he loved — choosing the works that hang here.

Daniel James Mardell

Co-Founder and Creative Director

Daniel has a strong foothold in the art world, having worked closely with the studios of Richard Hambleton, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Banksy and Keith Haring. He specialises in 1980s street art, but in recent years has shifted focus to working directly with some of the highest-grossing emerging artists of the last five years.

Founder’s note

“My grandfather framed pictures for other people his whole life and never owned one. I started this gallery so that owning something good would feel ordinary, not intimidating.”

Founder’s note

“For ten years, I helped galleries build a family of collectors. But once a work found its home, I had little control over what came next — and too often, the care and connection ended with the sale.

I founded Causon Daniel to change that.

Art deserves relationships built to last: grounded in trust, given time, shaped by transparency and guided by a genuine understanding of each person's ambitions. Today, those principles sit at the heart of everything we do — creating a more thoughtful, personal art world for all.”

Values

Four rules we keep.

  1. 01

    Buy fewer things

    A collection is defined by what it excludes. We would rather place one right painting a year than fill a wall.

  2. 02

    Know the history

    Provenance, exhibition record, condition. Written down, verified, handed over with the work.

  3. 03

    Price without theatre

    Clear figures, no bidding pressure, no invented scarcity. The value is in the object.

  4. 04

    Stay after the sale

    Framing, installation, insurance valuations, eventual resale. The relationship outlasts the invoice.
