Harvey Daniels

Z is for Zoe

1970

Harvey Daniels was a London-born artist. He had a long career; lecturing at Brighton College of Art, then moving on to make artwork full-time, participating in many exhibitions. Daniels’ work is exemplified by bright, geometric patterns. The compositions are very playful and energetic through his use of color, shape and pattern. It has been said that the artist used his artwork to communicate joy and energy; a way of channelling optimism and positive potential. Early in his career, critics and others defined his work as pop-art, but slowly over the years his work became increasingly abstract and geometric. Daniels has been exhibited widely in many solo and mixed shows in New York and London, and his works are represented in many important museums world-wide, which include The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The Metropolitan Museum, New York; Bergens Kunstforening, Norway; Yale University Art Gallery.
