Recent History Paintings
Paris From March 17, 2022 to April 16, 2022
There is darkness in our egocentrism and the artist challenges us on this subject, leading us towards an essential reflection. His art allows us to take the necessary step back to understand our civilization in all its insincerity, and it is a real shock for the spectator which can only push him to wonder about the means of action at his disposal to preserve his humanity. The hyperrealism of the works is striking, the characters represented are there, very much alive in front of us. Who watches who? Who is staring at who? Take the time to look into the eyes of Brent, represented on the work: "Jump suit". Does that look bother you?
If this is the case, so much the better, because then it makes you react: fear, anguish, seduction, fascination, whatever, these eyes and this being speak to each one of us. In this, Dan Witz performs a master trick. Let's talk technique: with his magnificent chiaroscuros and impeccable mastery of oil painting, the artist gives his works a very special strength. Dan Witz produced little, he lingered on these canvases for a long time, working on them for several weeks or even several months, passing from one to the other. The crowds, or "Mosh pit", are particularly successful.
Every little detail is relevant, every movement, every character, every object tells a story and implicitly determines who we are. The pulpits are intertwined, more alive than ever. And all this with an incredible emotional density. We were talking about the dark side of the artist's work: indeed, this is what appears at first glance. We are firmly convinced that the positive message of the artist is found in the reflection that we, spectators, can have by mirror effect. It is therefore obviously a crush that we had for these particularly evocative works, of incredible power, and we are proud and impatient to present Dan Witz and his hyperrealistic universe.
