Daniel Domig

b. 1983

Daniel Domig explores social factors and building relationships as an aspect of the human condition through painting archetypal forms and paradigmatic figures. Metaphorically as well as literally, he is trying to discover where one person starts and another begins. Primarily, he depicts the human body in his work, but is aware of the treacherousness of figuration. As painting is both illustrative and narrative, it elevates the image to an object that it supposedly illustrates… he creates the “presence” of a figure, a visual feeling or visual aura which is very conscious in the reception of the viewer, without using obvious forms to bring it into existence.

Daniel Domig was born in 1983 in Vancouver, Canada.  Lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Daniel studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria, where he currently lives with his family. He has exhibited widely in Europe, North America and Australia over the past two decades. Among his solo and group shows: Stranger Family, Chalk Horse Gallery, SYDNEY; Where Hopes Infest, Diana Lowenstein Gallery, Miami; The Quiet Afterword, Museum Engen, Germany; Matter of a Burning Body, unttld contemporary, Vienna, Austria; The Heart is a Prideful Beast, Warburton Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland ; All Words Were Once Animals, 33 Orchard, NEW YORK, NYC (solo) ; Five Rooms, Austrian Cultural Forum NYC ; Triennale LINZ 1.0, Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz, Austria; With All the Things We Build and Make, Thrust Projects, New York .
