Daniel Domig’s Paintings are invitations: Thick, colorful compositions challenge us to gaze at the world through our guts instead of our eyes. They are places of growth and fermentation, of openings and closings. We encounter them as a spectacle of shapes, shades, and silhouettes ― emerging figures interacting with their own making and maker ― almost flickering in and out of existence. Clarity reveals itself only to those willing to give up control, to sacrifice overview for intimacy. These paintings come into being through the act of reception rather than production. And as the bodies intermingle between the layers of paint, we are invited into communion with these magical paintings.
Domig studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria, where he currently lives with his family. He has exhibited widely in Europe, North America and Australia over the past two decades.
