DAN BOLDMAN

ARITIST'S STATEMENT

My entire life has revolved around the land; scouting, hiking, camping, hunting, biking and observing. I take great pride in the fact that I can look at a landscape, no matter where in this country, and almost sensually feel, in my mind, the texture of the surface. I never tire or become calloused to the land, as it is constantly changing with time and seasons. My reason for being an artist is quite pure and simple: I love nature, and enjoy the difficult process of capturing it on canvas and, most of all, sharing the results with others.
I work in oils and on four to six paintings at once. By working on multiple paintings I always have one that is dry enough to glaze and rework. Each piece takes many sessions and at the beginning of each session the painting is glazed first and then repainted. It is this process of repeated glazing, along with years of color and light experimentation that gives the paintings their luminosity.

Education
Dan Boldman was raised in Portsmouth, Ohio where his love of the landscape began. He spent much of his youth exploring the hills and woods of the Scioto River valley, and began to depict these landscapes with paint. Dan received his BFA and MFA from the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio.  He has shown extensively throughout the Midwest and East Coast. His work is included in numerous corporate and private collections.  Solo Shows
