He crawled out of the [graffiti scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rusto) and made a career for himself creating extraordinary mixed-media art, often using new technology and pushing boundaries as far as experimenting with digital and photographic aids. I am absolutely stunned by the emotion and detail captured in these brilliant [mosh pit oil paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-54). It looks like a night out in Shoreditch, London trying to get to the bar, except from the last picture. That is more like a bad nightmare. Dan Witz paints anything from streetscapes to portraiture.
