Dan McDermott
Current CollectionDan McDermott is a painter of the overlooked. McDermott's extensive body of work is drawn from an expanding archive of images, frozen frames from film and television, emotionally resonant from their entrapment within the decades in which they were born and forgotten. The resulting image often seems familiar but its references are evasive, creating a sense of déjà vu and investigating the ways in which individual significance is forged and shaped by time.
