Daniel WimmerThe Island - Contemporary Expressive Figurative Oil Painting2024
2024
About the Item
The inspiration for Daniel Wimmer’s art consistently stems from the human body. He is particularly fascinated by the beautiful colors of the skin and is constantly searching for intriguing lighting situations.
The sculptural aspect of painting is clearly recognizable in Wimmer’s works. By focusing on form and color rather than details, he is able to work with a sense of freedom and energy, which enhances the plasticity of his paintings.
In his pieces, Wimmer enjoys playing with contrasts: warm and cold, light and dark, various textures, as well as soft and hard transitions. This approach often gives his work a strong abstract quality.
Nevertheless, it is essential for Wimmer to depict a specific moment and make the atmosphere palpable.
Through his art, Wimmer aims to offer viewers the opportunity to identify with the subject matter. His works evoke memories and associations, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary.
A carefully planned composition and the use of symbolic elements often create multiple layers of meaning in Wimmer’s works, inviting the viewer to look beyond the obvious and bring their own interpretation.
Biography
Born in 1982 in Salzburg, Daniel Wimmer was fortunate to grow up in an art-rich environment. His father was also a painter, and from an early age, Wimmer was surrounded by art supplies and picture books. This early influence ignited a deep and lasting fascination with art, especially painting from various periods. After completing his training as a certified nurse, Wimmer finally found the time to devote himself to his true passion.
He considers himself primarily self-taught, having acquired the necessary knowledge from old textbooks, various courses, the internet, and by copying both old and modern masters. Above all, Wimmer’s continuous engagement with art of all kinds and daily drawing have been key to his development.
Wimmer has always been particularly fascinated by the interplay of light and the human form, a subject that remains at the heart of his artistic practice today.
His works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and art fairs, including the Sturm und Drang Gallery in Linz, the Charter Project Gallery in Leipzig, the Phoenix Gallery in Cologne, the Grand Saloon in Bad Säckingen, and the Art and ArtCouture Gallery in Miltenberg. Daniel Wimmer is also regularly represented at various art fairs both nationally and internationally.

Sloth, From the Seven Deadly Sins Series, Nude Figures, Oil on Watercolor Paper
By David Becker
Located in Chicago, IL
Seven deadly sins are the seven vices that spur other sins and further immoral behavior. First enumerated by Pope Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and elaborated in the 13th century by St. Thomas Aquinas, they are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Each of these can be overcome with the seven corresponding virtues of humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, patience, and diligence. It is clear that as a subject matter, David Becker prefers the seven deadly sins to the virtues!
