Dan McCaw: “I trust my instincts, intuition and feelings above everything else.
I am freed of trying to copy an object and tethered to all the academic conditions that are part of representational art. It is not my intention to neither dismiss nor dismantle all those principals that have brought me to this point, nor the artists that adhere so dearly to those principals. I respect and learn from anything done well, from photo-realism to abstract or non-objective art”.
Abstract Art does not force me to an intended conclusion but allows me the freedom to change, exaggerate, experiment and simplify where I am guided only by what feels right. I am moved by just simple shapes, textures, colors and line that have, in some cases, no reference to anything recognizable but evoke an emotional response within me”.
