VALDOSTA — Think of it as the three Bs of Daniel Hanifan’s art.
Big. Bold. Beautiful.
While many artists display dozens of works in one of the big gallery shows at the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts, Hanifan displays less than a dozen canvases. Big canvases.
2008 has also represented a big year, locally, for Hanifan’s art. He’s exhibited work during Downtown Valdosta events. He had a one-man show in the Smith Northview Hospital Southern Artists League series. Now, there’s his one-artist show at the arts center.
He has also had a one-man show in Albany, was selected as featured artist for the Art Space International Show in Atlanta, which led to some paintings finding homes in Italy and England.
Hanifan explores the relationships of colors, how they interact side by side, in complementary relief or dynamic contrast. These strokes and compositions can be striking as these relationships play across vast canvases, but these canvases are not always large enough for Hanifan’s tastes.
He said earlier this year, “While painting I have to discipline myself as the canvas never seems to be large enough. I find that I am tempted to add one more brushstroke to the hundreds that I have already painted. I have learned to walk away and come back later to hear what the painting has to say.”
Given that Hanifan often works designing theatrical stages, it is no surprise that he finds even large canvases limiting.
Daniel Hanifan, after all, works larger than life.
