Daniel Brice

About the Artist

California based artist Daniel Brice's mixed media canvases and works on paper are a study in the use of line to convey, through simple gestural movements, a complex world of ideas. Subtly intricate, Brice's work is the result of painstaking attention to detail that involves a combination of dark, curvilinear line work with hard-edged planes appearing almost as collage elements in each piece. Brice's use of color is also subtle but he makes greater use of it than may at first appear.

His monotypes and canvases appear to be about the interplay of color and line used sparingly but effectively to convey a sense of balance and imbalance. Where the dark lines converge, as they sometimes do, they become blurred as though disturbed by a momentary convergence. Ending abruptly when bisected by either the hard-edge of a rectangular plane within the work or by the outer edge of the work itself, the lines require us to complete them or connect them, to see beyond what is there to what is not there.
