2023 WORK HARD, PLAY HARD
Wadström Tönnheim Gallery, Malmö
Daniel Fleur experiences the world as painting, and how it can be transformed into painting and through painting. Whether it is digitally resolved motifs or detailed realistic everyday motifs, it is all paintings from within. As a classical painter, he is familiar with techniques that build up the paintings layer by layer. The often intimate motifs may come from his everyday life or what is meditated upon in everyday life. But it does not necessarily have to be his everyday life that is portrayed. Sometimes he sees an inner image that he works out, sometimes he comes across an image and sometimes he searches for one. Fleur's latest works presents a kaleidoscope of themes that are kept whimsical and sometimes humorous in their execution.
