Inspired by Édouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard and Gustav Klimt, Dan McCaw has avoided conforming to the literal representation of the subject and de- veloped a heightened awareness in his work. Although his sensitive gural work is deeply rooted in the romantic impressionist tradition, recent years have seen him moving toward a more individual, expressionist tradition.
A skilled and discerning interpreter of color harmonies, light and mood, the core of McCaw’s work is based on expressing feeling and emotions with the fewest elements; the idea that less is more. “My primary interest lies in going beyond the technique in order to interpret the subject in different ways and expand on the interpretation to make a personal statement. Creativity lies in uncertainty because the solution can be anything!”
