Daniel Kirsch
Daniel screen prints onto naturally rough materials like sawn up old beehive boxes or beautifully weathered planks and boards of old buildings. He juxtaposes clear, fresh images with the lively roughness and beauty of a ‘wear-and-tear’ patina only achievable by time and the elements. Each piece has an individual story to tell. With his work the artist expresses and shares his love and respect for the beauty and dignity of the Coromandel Peninsula. Daniel is also known for his refreshingly loose brush drawings.
Graduated from art school in Germany in 1994, this up and coming NZ artist is a fairly recent introduction to our national art scene. Having come from the outside some 10 years ago gives him the advantage of a fresh and different way to look at things inside, yet plenty of local experience. With his sharp vision he keeps a close eye on our culture and landscape, creating “iconic work, something especially New Zealand” (TJ McNamara, NZ Herald).
