b. 1988, Philadelphia, PA
Dan Perkins lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He received his MFA from American University. His paintings channel architectural motifs that connote passing through space: crossing from one plane to another, gazing through a window, entering a threshold of sorts. However the spaces depicted sit in an ethereal haze, where color and form are primary. Scale, time and space are all negotiable, up to the viewer to frame and understand.
He has shown at Rachel Uffner Gallery, Deanna Evans Projects, Sperone Westwater, Kutlesa Gallery, Hashimoto Contemporary, and elsewhere. His work is held in the collections of Capital One, Fidelity Investments, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Katzen Museum of American University, as well as in many private collections. His work has been featured in The New York Review of Books, Juxtapoz Magazine, Booooooom, Wired Italia, Art of Choice, Archive 00, Two Coats of Paint, Artsy, ArtMaze Mag, and the Washington Post.
