"The Fish Tank, " Abstract Mixed Media on Paper signed by Dan Muller

1997

About the Item

"The Fish Tank" is an original mixed media on paper by Dan Muller. The artist signed the piece lower right. This artwork features abstract shapes and marks in the primary colors. The artist created the frame. 7 1/8" x 8 3/8" art 16" x 16 1/2" frame Born in 1960 in Miles City, Montana, Dan spent most of his childhood in the Southern and central regions of Wisconsin. Dan's work is centered on the idea of using successive layers of transparent and opaque pigment along with pigment-impregnated rice paper to create a density of color that would not be possible solely by direct painting on the surface of the paper itself. He works to achieve an interplay of shapes and colors which will exist with equal freedom within that defined space, while striving to obtain a feeling of expansiveness no matter what the actual scale piece is.

Artist Commentary: Stardust Cephalopod is a bioluminescent flowering squid, existing both in the depths of the sea and the far reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. She melds together the sciences of the oceans and the stars, linking the two natural spaces as one beautiful entity. Stardust Cephalopod is a mixed media work created with pen, ink, & collage. About the Artist: Jenny Brown is a visual artist living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, whose primary mediums are drawing, collage, and works on paper.
