The Arrangement
on view: April 4th - May 2nd, 2009
opening reception: April 11th, 6 - 8 pm
LaMontagne Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of The Arrangement, a new exhibit of paintings by Daniel Heidkamp.
In his latest show, Daniel Heidkamp presents a dynamic group of paintings inspired by urban interactions. Heidkamp’s paintings are created from observation, but the crux of his work relies on the value he places in, and the care that he employs in color arrangement, surface texture and compositional tension. He depicts the people and environments of the various neighborhoods - the cultures - encompassed within his current home of New York City to create bold visual spectacles. The viewer is drawn into the world of the picture frame as Heidkamp beautifully captures the vibrancy of New York life. His paintings filter the jumbles of daily life and focus on the main components - people, bikes, cars, buildings - and their defining visual and tactile characteristics that determine their modern roles. Heidkamp is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This is his second show at LaMontagne.
