Sky will showcase a new body of work exploring color and form. Known for his dynamic blend of abstraction and mixed media, Daniels’ work evokes emotional resonance through bold, immersive compositions. His practice focuses on observation and technique through a slow layering of translucent pigments. The sculptural quality of the work is achieved through repeated processes and the materiality of wooden framing, bronze leaf, and oil paint on glue sized linen, as well as the delicate addition of texture and gestural marks. Daniels’ paintings develop as a response to his studio environment, particularly weather conditions and the interplay of light and glass.
Maximilian Daniels (b. 1991) lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
