To the human body there is design and rhythm; the design, utterly complex. The rhythm, impossibly simple. Hundreds of thousands of veins usher blood unceasing through an atomic, electric dance. Yet the perception of a beating heart or a deft brush to the skin may engender unthought and unbidden feelings of rusted lust, sudden joy or radiant fear. Within complexity, we discover simplicity. In simplicity, chaos.
Connective Tissue, rooted in the circular energy flow dancing from artist to subject, depicts both the complex anatomy of the human figure and emotion engendered in the form.
The palette is limited to basic primary colors and the brush strokes left raw, letting the oil and pigment define the composition.Each picture is painted in oil on a gessoed ground consisting of masonite, canvas board or paper. Shipped unframed via USPS.

"Daniel Gill, in his current series of figurative oil paintings, Connective Tissue, has conjured up an impressive display of the struggle to connect: primarily with his subject, the raw and isolate nude. But beyond that he reflects on and reveals the individual struggle we all face with regard to our own corporeality: How do we as spirited and more-or-less conscious "beings" relate to the timeworn and disintegrating nature of our vessels and vehicles (bodies). The beauty of this struggle is everywhere apparent in his work. Daniel's keen, observant eye is oftentimes compromised as he distorts and exagerates for effect: for shape, for weight, for composition and flow. But what excites me the most is his brushwork. It is there in the tactile, dynamic movement of his brush that he communicates his personal struggle to connect with the model while simultaneously challenging us to consider what it is " To be or not to be". Another aspect that intrigues me is the way he, within the same work, vascillates between rendering his surfaces "realistically" and letting go with his brush to blur boundaries of shapes and contours and allow the "bright" of the Ground to emanate through the figures. This of course leads to all sorts of metaphysical implications which deeply enrich the work".
