Daniel Klewer (b.1982, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is a South Carolina-based abstract painter whose work is recognized by its unique, sculpturally painted surfaces. He has studied art at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay and Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. Daniel’s work has been exhibited and collected worldwide. Light and color are driving forces in my work as I explore chromatic and tonal shifts. Primarily using a brushless paint application that stretches the paint’s physical qualities, the textured surfaces of the paintings document investigations into the relationship between paintings and sculpture. My work flows between vibrant spontaneity and meditative minimalism as they reflect my pursuit of painting as a contemplative, perceptual experience. The composition and colors explore how surfaces can communicate a story.
