Daniel Heyman: The World Has Gone Crazy and So Am I

Daniel Heyman: The World Has Gone Crazy and So Am I features drawings and paintings on handmade paper that reflect the influence of Heyman’s extensive travels in Europe and Japan. The works are a part of his ongoing conversation with art and artists conducted through pictures. The importance of handmade paper, typically Japanese style “kozo” washi, is evidenced by the great variety of paper used. The works exhibited—some created in one sitting, some over many years—feature spontaneous sketches and layered drawings in mediums like sumi ink, graphite, and gouache. Heyman’s work resists classification as it explores themes of landscape, nature, history and human rights. The exhibition highlights his mastery of both technique and subject, offering a window into his personal, often intuitive creative process.
