Daniel Green was featured in an article by Sophia Cosmadopoulos in Savant Garde on June 1, 2015. In the article titled "Drawings and Text In and Out of Context," Cosmadopoulos discusses Green's artwork that weaves together personal experiences, pop culture references, and American entertainment.
Cosmadopoulos remarks,
"Drawing on new or reclaimed wood, Daniel surrounds his characters with rows and columns of frenetic text—soundbites from his everyday life. Sometimes underlined or written in a different color, phrases such as 'I love Gilles,' 'Making Love Out of Nothing at All,' or 'Earthquake Thunder' are interspersed with references to television shows, video games, movies, TV channels, times, and dates. The price of the 'Ultimate Cheesecake $1.99' or the 'Ultimate Ice Cream $2.99' are listed next to names and numbers. These disjointed textual references remind us of our modern world, constantly interrupted by imagery, sound, and text. Daniel’s work manages to capture and contain this cacophony."
