born in 1974 in Essex. I am an urban artist working in London and the south east.
My names Dan Kitchener and I am an painter,artist and illustrator living in Essex and working all over London and the South East. My work has a gritty urban theme, taken from everyday life and the surroundings and environment I experience daily. I love to find beauty in the most mundane of scenes and particularly love the relationship with light, shadow and composition. I try to fill my work with a tangible mood, a sense of being there. I work using a variety of mediums, spray paint, paint markers, stencils and paint for my canvases. I also produce a lot of digital paintings and illustrations which again follow similar themes, lonely urban landscapes punctuated by flickering, faulty street lights, high rise flats rising from misty horizons over concrete grey skies....
