A dramatic black and white composition with an angular shaped paper that echoes broken glass. A unique statement in a modern or contemporary space. Daniel Samaniego is an artist and cultural worker based in Queens, New York. Combining fantastic, grotesque, and pop imagery, his labor-intensive graphite drawings and theatrically scaled drawing installations explore the interplay between queer identity, desire, and monstrosity. Recent exhibitions include Lavender Scare, curated by Dan Halm at the Spring/Break NY Art Show, and Lined and Torn: Paper Works from The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Collection in Las Vegas (2023). Samaniego is currently an artist in residence at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space. Dimensions: 62.25 inches tall, 42.75 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep (framed).
