Dan Michiels

Dan Michiels

Dan Michiels was born in Hollywood in 1956. He has been at Creativity Explored since 2008.

Perhaps influenced by his travels of the world, Michiels’ work has a distinct psychedelic gravity. It presents a meticulous rendering of the mind’s action only in reference to a ruler, paper, pencil, and an array of color, and how these elements organize themselves in two dimensions. This can be a liberally amorphous registration of shape and color, or a pulsating, rigorous grid structure carefully filled-in to create a tessellated all-over composition. Dan is a focused artist; his process is painstaking and time-consuming.

When compared to his reverberating abstractions, Michiels’ figurative pieces have a calm gestural touch and use a few spare lines to convey information.
