Original artwork description:

Acrylic on canvas

62 x 84 cm, 24.4 x 33 in

Ready to hang. The canvas is stretched on wooden bars and the margins are painted.
The artwork is covered in silk paper and bubble wrap and shipped rolled in a cardboard box.


Dan's works usually depict an alternative perception of the reality that is possible by letting go of the standardized perception of the surroundings.
Once time, space, social and cultural standards become other than boundaries the possibilities are limitless and the creative thought can release us into a freedom which we didn't have the courage to hope for.
He applies the same concept to his process trying to use the result of accidental drops or free gesture finger or brush intervention as a will of a predefined chaos that is used as a pretext for new layers and details of the composition.
The images he uses for reference are collages of various out of context picture cuts found in archives, social media or even screen prints from cinema or television productions. He also makes his own pictures using different subjects placed in unusual situations and invited to improvise their behavior and gestures while interacting with objects or other subjects around them.

Materials used:

acrylic, canvas
