Daniel Brice Paintings

American, b. 1961

Californian artist Daniel Brice uses the simplicity of color and geometry to convey meaning. His abstract style paintings and watercolors have bold shades and overlapping shapes that transmit an emotional depth. Though it can be described as minimalist, Brice’s work is marked by a sense of vibrancy and animation.

Brice was born in 1961 in Glendale, California, and graduated from California State University, Long Beach, in 1985. Throughout the 1980s, he was close friends with and mentored by fellow painter and printmaker Carlos Almaraz. Almaraz used to tell the young artist that “a broom is the artist’s second most important tool!” Later, Brice realized this meant the real tool was finding time to think.

Brice held his first solo exhibition in 1988 at the David Lawrence Gallery in Los Angeles. His paintings and prints are heavily inspired by the natural scenery of his home state. Rectangles and lines of Pacific Ocean blue provide a soothing backdrop to the sun-soaked shades of yellow, orange, green and red of California’s flora. Brice often paints in layers, translating the lushness of his surroundings onto the paper.

In 2003, Brice was invited for a residency at the Tamarind Institute, a lithography workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has since had multiple residencies at the workshop and cites his collaboration with Californian artist Bill Lagattuta as a particularly powerful learning experience.

Brice currently is based in Los Angeles, exhibiting his paintings throughout California and across the country. His work can be found in the collections of the Allentown Art Museum, the Ohio Wesleyan University Richard M. Ross Art Museum and Smith College.

(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple or black floater frame, ready to hang.) Artist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to my 'Gridish' series but with more negative space, a broader array of media and more complexity to the oval forms. I have tried to create tension between these iconic forms through the divergence of dissonant and unusual materials, colors and textures. These ovals keep reappearing in my work; they seem almost like groups of silent but sentient beings to me." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work. We collect colorists like Wolf Kahn and Jennifer Bartlett, whom I commissioned a piece from that is in the entrance of Mayo Clinic. We are old fans...
