Daniel Solomon b. 1987 in Cape Town, South Africa, draws inspiration from a deep connection to history, the human experience, and the warring confluence of our environment and man. He is a self-taught artist with an educational foundation in psychology. Solomon examines these themes through painting and electricity. Predominantly working with acrylic and oil paint, with the addition of circuitry and LEDs. Solomon’s work is connected to the tradition of landscape painting; drawing from the same well as the 19th century romantics, yet is indelibly influenced by our times; making ample use of digital and industrial tools to create work. Through his art, Solomon seeks to investigate our place in time; the jumping-off point between analog and digital reality. Inviting viewers to contemplate presence, materiality and agency. Daniel Solomon lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa.
