Delicate Rising Painting

Working in acrylic on canvas, Daniel produces works with a lush paint surface.  His works follow strict, self-imposed rules. 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. As the surface of the painting is repeatedly scraped over, the original pictorial compositions are distorted, blurred, and given new life. These built-up layers of paint accumulated on the edge of the paintings record the artist's unique process and have become recognizable as a process and language of painting all his own.
