If you feel like Daniel Marks
art really pops, thats because it
does right off the canvas.
Daniel is a 1991 graduate of
Columbia College, in Columbia
Missouri. He was a dual major in
drawing and painting and has
been painting professionally for
over 25 years.
The subjects painted by
Daniel are varied, but some of the
most popular are buildings. He
feels that buildings are portraits
of our urban and suburban
landscapes and despite being
inanimate objects contain
endless personality, humor, and stories waiting to be told through his
art.
Acrylics on canvas are Daniels media of choice, worked into a
Van Gogh-esque style of swirling skies and exaggerated colors. He
creates both two-dimensional and three-dimensional paintings. The
three-dimensional works are constructed of materials including plastic,
nylon, wire, Styrofoam, and aluminum in order for them to rise off the
canvas, creating a uniquely animated viewing experience.
Daniel exhibits his work in both solo and group shows at various
venues and private locations throughout the country.
Be sure to visit Daniel in his studio during the Ames Area Studio
