Doug Moran and Archibald Prize finalist, Daniel Butterworth is an established artist specialising in portraiture – frequently using self portraits to express social, political and personal views.
"DANIEL’S LOOSE AND FREE APPROACH TO HIS MEDIUM IS CAPTIVATING!"
"Art has no boundaries, everyone can create."
This medium showcases the speed of his brush strokes to indicate movement with the figure.
With a multitude of different colours making up the tonal values and the use of the cardboard markings and paint dribbles, his works show strength, uniqueness and a rawness within.
Having started his working life as a sign-writer, Dan later completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Latrobe University and has been a practising artist for more than 20 years.
Dan works from his studio in Kyneton, Victoria.
With numerous solo and group exhibitions to his name, along with selection as a finalist in a large number of high profile portrait prizes, Daniel is now in demand as a guest artist and teacher in Australia.
