2CV Painting

Working from a palette of punchy colors, NY Artist Daniel Dens, juxtaposes iconic silk-screened images that are at once historic and contemporary as well as counter-cultural and mainstream. Images of celebrities, political figures, and albums are layered against news articles and type, creating compositions that reflect a sensationalized vision of the world. Dens, a self-taught artist from Belgium, moved to Venice, California in 2002, and began creating mixed-media pieces. He then spent 12 years in New York City refining his technique to create high quality silkscreen paintings and sculptures. Dens' solo exhibition, at the Louis K. Meisel Gallery in Soho, showcased his large mural paintings and La La La sculptures, and was reviewed in the May issue of ARTnews Magazine. In addition to having recent solo shows in the New York area, he had an ongoing exhibition at Saatchi & Saatchi, NYC, from 2008-2010 and also ran an Atelier, in Water Mill (The Hamptons), featuring his work and studio from 2010-2013. In 2015 Daniel moved west began exhibiting with several galleries in Southern California. He is currently creating new paintings in Ventura, California; and continues to collaborate with international galleries, collectors, and designers. Please contact the studio to view available works.
