Linear Tactility Series
I continue to celebrate my love of painting in my series “Linear Tactility”. The paintings all share a consistent linearly divided composition with investigations into the visual and psychological resonance of color relationships and texture. A brushless paint application dominate the paintings’ surface. The paintings unique, sculpturally-textured paint feels as if it is reaching off the canvas towards the viewer. Tension between surface and depth, light and material, and color and texture draw you into the paintings’ surface, while the sharp cactus-like texture pushes back.
Botanical Abstraction Series
Working in oil on canvas, Daniel produces works characterized by a lush paint surface. Daniel’s works follow strict self-imposed rules about how paint is applied, treated, removed, and re-attached to the surface.
As the surface on the painting is repeatedly scraped over, the original pictorial compositions are distorted, blurred, and given new life.
Daniel has a unique process of removing the paint surface, literally stripping back the initial gestural painting and re-attaching the removed paint to the edge of the canvas. These built up layers of paint accumulated on the edge of the paintings record the artists unique process, and have become instantly recognizable as a process and language of painting all his own.
The works are inspired by compositions reduced from floral and nature imagery. After Daniel filters his source material through his unique way of interpreting composition and color, the end result is unrecognizable and familiar at the same time.
