Painter & Mixed Media

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Born in New York and raised in California, Daniel Anselmi has also lived in Hawaii, Massachusetts, and now Maine. His work explores the use of found materials to create art that often combines imagery and abstraction. He utilizes canvas, paint, cardboard, found paper, and objects to convey his love of line, shape, and color. The artist offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon each work's individual qualities and appreciate how a simple discovery of castaway materials leads to ever-expanding artistic creation and contemplation.

Notes on Visions from the Land of DADA kate chapin 2009-09-12 09:24:49 Hi, Daniel... I have had you on my mind, but have not had a chance to write until now... Again, the patinaed colors and the depth of black in the abstract collage pieces are so delicious! What are you up to now? (I think we should send made postcards that we can alter upon receipt and then return to sender... what do you think? Let me know... :)) votre soeur de visions du terrain de DaDa, kate

Saw your new show! Thierry 2009-08-18 09:25:30 Hi Daniel, Sorry I missed your opening but I'm back from PEI and I finally saw your "Redefined Shapes" show at the Belfast Framer gallery last night. Because I liked your previous body of work so much, I wasn't sure I would like your abstract series as much. I was wrong. Absolutely LOVED IT! Great composition as always, beautiful colors/light, solid presentation (wonderful framed pieced in the window). I noticed you sold many pieces - congratulations! You truly deserve it. I can't wait to see what you'll come up next. Bravo! Thierry B.

Upcoming Solo Exhibition - REDEFINED SHAPES Daniel Anselmi 2009-07-23 11:31:49 Solo Exhibition - "Redefined Shapes" August 4-29, 2009 Opening Reception Friday, August 7th at 5 p.m. The Belfast Framer & Gallery 96 Main Street Belfast, ME 04915 207-338-6465 Over the past year, my work has explored the use of found materials to create art that often combines imagery and abstraction. This solo exhibition presents my new body of work that expands his explorations into pure abstraction. The concept for this show came about from his discovery of a set of old hand-cut letter stencils. I was drawn immediately to their simplicity. I found that by altering the stencils and adding other elements such as found paper each work developed other shapes and lines, removing any obvious image of the alphabet while keeping the focus on their beauty as \"redefined shapes.\" I offer viewers an opportunity to reflect upon each work\'s individual qualities and appreciate how a simple discovery of castaway materials leads to ever-expanding artistic creation and contemplation. I hope to see you there. Daniel A.
