Artist Statement

Daniel Klewer continues to celebrate his love of paint in his 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 dominates the paintings’ surface. The works’ unique sculpturally textured paint feels as if it is reaching off the canvas toward the viewer. Tension between surface and depth, light and material, color and texture, draw you into the paintings’ surface, while the sharp cactus-like texture pushes back.
