Daniel McClendon | bio [+]

Daniel McClendon’s art focuses on the process of its creation. Areas of development, ranging from textural layers of oil paint to loose, spontaneous under-paintings, create unique “stories” within each piece. And the plethora of subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) relationships, along with the bold, powerful colors and simplistic line work, engage the viewer, beyond your average painting.
It is no easy task to merely glance at Daniel’s art. The work challenges everyone at some level, drawing the viewer in, and the unspecified energy emanating from each piece resonates soundly.
Daniel is native to Michigan, where he received his B.F.A. from Western Michigan University. He lives and works in Asheville, NC with his wife and dog.
