Blake Daniels

Blake Daniels lives and works between New York and Johannesburg. Drawing inspiration from traditions of storytelling, queer cultural practices, art history and personal memories; Daniels paintings create dreamlike and expressive compositions which examine the private interior and socio-political conditions under which we establish, form and adapt our identities. They are the recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant and received a Master’s in Fine Arts from The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (2017). Solo exhibitions include Matthew Brown (Los Angeles), Galerie Julien Cadet (Paris) and ROOM (Johannesburg).
