Dan Witz

Born 1957 in Chicago, Illinois. Lives in New york.

Since the 80’s famous for his well known participation in the Street Art Movement, Dan Witz looks for night scenes, and depicts a savage and fascinating world. One the one side, his oil paintings with very fine lines draw a very quite picture of the suburbs through the absence of the soul. One the other side he shows bunches of people or animals, disshumanized, alienated, insane as if they were run by battery. Between presence and absence, his paitings always deal with the identity of human beings in modern societies.
