Stunningly Sombre Paintings

New England-Based Artist Daniel Danger Paints Gloomy Pictures

— December 9, 2011 — Art & Design
The series of quirky, dark and gloomy paintings by New England-based illustrator and printmaker Daniel Danger is intriguing and seems to also exude a hint of Tim Burton flair.

Utilizing not more than three colors of black, white, and “other,” Danger paints mesmerizing nightscapes. Viewers are greeted with paintings depicting deserted neighborhoods, quiet streets, vacant mansions, mysterious woods, abandoned amusement parks and planes cutting across the evening skies.

Danger shares that he hopes his work “will remind you of something you may have said to someone, or something someone may have said to you; back in that time period that’s just too far away to remember clearly, but not so long ago you forgot about it completely”.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Nightscapes - The insight that black, white, and a third color are enough to evoke powerful emotions in viewers opens up new opportunities for minimalist paintings.
2. Nostalgic Art - Daniel Danger's paintings with a touch of Burtonesque imagery remind us of an era that is gone, presenting opportunities for nostalgic-themed art to gain more popularity.
3. Melancholic Aesthetics - The melancholic and eerie appearance of Danger's paintings puts emphasis on less glamorous or beautiful aspects of everyday life, suggesting new opportunities for art that deviates from conventional aesthetics.
Industry Implications
1. Art - The art industry can benefit from Danger's distinctive style of painting as a way to excite new buyers and collectors of melancholic-themed artworks.
2. Home Decor - Home decor companies can cater to the growing demand for nostalgic art through licensing deals with artists like Danger, or selling prints that evoke the essence of his paintings.
3. Fashion - Fashion companies and designers can embrace the dark and quirky aesthetics of Danger's paintings, designing clothing and accessories that appeal to consumers who appreciate unique and unconventional styles.
