Born: February 5, 1958 Danny Davini's abstract work has an existential quality that challenges and lures the viewer into searching for relationships that may elucidate or deny the unexplainable. The bold use of color, a Davini staple, suggests a simplicity and immediacy that evokes trust and a sense of knowing the artist. Paradise and pain, interconnectedness and stark isolation flow from his palette. "I tend to paint fast and mix my colors as I go. Texture, lines, and certain blends are made with everything from sticks to sandpaper. I will scrape and area with a razor blade, use steel wool, spray with a garden hose, whatever it takes to get the results I am looking for. I try to use textures and colors to evoke responses as opposed to subject matter alone." ABSTRACT ACEO #51 $12.00
