WEBER FINE ART
INTRODUCTION
Daniel Rich paints angular, geometric architectures of modernist buildings in Midtown Manhattan. His process begins with screenshots from Google Street View and his own photographs, which are scaled up and realized in brightly colored acrylic paint on panel.
The scale and perspective of the paintings draw the viewer to a place of tension between the specific and the ubiquitous, the individual and the anonymous, the surveilled and the surveyor. The distortion and cropping of the compositions thrust the viewer into the vantage point of a protestor, demonstrator, or parade marcher on the street.
In this unique contemporary moment, when anything could happen next, ordinary street views and buildings toe a tense line between banal and significant. In his newest body of work, Rich expands on his decades-long investigation into the ways architecture bears witness to, reflects, and suggests underlying political narratives.
