Daniel Herr: Studio Visit

Megan Liu Kincheloe visits the studio of painter Daniel Herr.

Herr comments that "some of [the paintings] actually just start as a crude drawing of a figure, or a crude object, or a word, or I’ll have a picture I took some place to begin with as a compositional set ­piece. There’s kind of everything in every painting. It’s sort of absurd. I will start with an idea, and I’ll try forcing and forcing it, then I’ll just abandon it, and ride the wave to somewhere else. Ultimately, it becomes a different thing … paint and the interaction between two wet colors has always been what I’ve been most interested in—the 'chord changes.' That said, I’m really into the way of thinking associated with collage—the randomness, the everyday, Dada, stream-­of-consciousness, disorienting subject matter, and turning something on its head."
