Duncan McDaniel

Block Party

Duncan's images feature complex repetition of shapes and distorted
figures rendered with an overall singular technique. His organic,
explores themes such as childhood nostalgia, vivid sexuality, and the
relationship between light and colors.

In 2006 McDaniel graduated from the Savannah College of Art and
Design, receiving a BFA in Painting with a minor in Illustration. Duncan
has exhibited in cities including Savannah, Georgia, Lacoste, France,
and Nashville, Tennessee. He currently lives and works in Nashville.

Statement from recent show:
This particular series of drawings concern such themes as structure,
transformation, conception, consumption, and decadence, all of which
are present in the multifaceted transformation of wine as it advances
from grape to bottle to mouth. This series consists of rendered
versions of yeast and taste buds perceived from a microscopic
viewpoint in order to accentuate the imperceptible phenomenon critical
to the making and tasting of wine. These meticulously crafted drawings
celebrate the secret life of this unique beverage, one that most of us
have been underestimating since 6000 B.C.
