Studio 10 - Daniel Hauben | Painting
A painting is a journey of discovery. Often disparate images coalesce to become my paintings; they are gleaned from the beauty of the world and from the convoluted ideas forever bouncing around in my head.
Painting allows me to distill my ideas, thoughts and visions, and opens a window for others to see them as well.
Painting centers me and helps me find my perspective. In my most concentrated moments, I lose myself entirely, and enter the painting as if entering a three-dimensional world. It is a world I can change with the movement of a brush. Each stroke can push through into another realm, can imbue the painting with light, make colors breathe, shapes dance, and new ideas come to life.
Daniel Hauben's lifelong artistic focus has been the landscape, both urban and natural. He has had over thirty national and international solo exhibitions, including at the Bronx Museum and the American Embassy in Berlin, and has been awarded artistic residencies at several art centers in the U.S. as well as in Spain, Germany and Costa Rica. His M.T.A. Arts for Transit commission "The EL", was acknowledged in 2008 as one of 40 notable works of public art nationwide by Americans for the Arts. In 2012, Hauben completed a commission of 22 paintings for the new Bronx Community College library. He has taught at the Art Students League, the CUNY Graduate Center, and CCNY's Spitzer School of Architecture. His work is in the collection of The Bronx Museum, The Museum of the City of New York, New York Historical Society, Library of Congress, White House, and the New York Public Library.
