Daniel Shepherd<\/strong>
\nPhoenix, Arizona, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been said that my work is both passionate and dispassionate, grey yet technicolor, distant yet immediate, ghostly and palpable, grainy, textured, and focused. Playful but noble. Cartoonish and child-like, but unafraid of adult themes and the subconscious. Dream-like to many, haunting to some, these conceptual contradictions are an extraordinary balancing act. Grayscale and bright, saturated colors collide head-on with bubblegum pastels. Humor is coupled in equal measure with pure anxiety. A sense that you can never get enough of whatever it is that’s out there.<\/p>\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am self taught primarily through experimentation and magic in the field of collage and minimal abstractions. I have no interest in the last thing I did. I look only towards the future and what it holds for me artistically. Accolades and mentions for past accomplishments are forgotten as quickly as yesterday\u2019s news. I am constantly looking for the next thing to quench my artistic thirst.<\/p>\n
