The Painter

Kevin Lance Daniels is a figurative oil painter based in the San Francisco Bay Area.   His paintings are about people often engaged in their daily routine in complex and dense urban settings. 

His photography and world travel inspire his paintings.  His perspective as a figurative painter is rooted in growing up in a multi-cultural world where hierarchies give way to individuality and compassion.  

Kevin uses color and light to reveal hidden perspectives.  His subtext often delves into who others think we are, what culture tells us, and most importantly, what we tell ourselves.   He searches for the edges between human separation and togetherness.  Somewhere in these struggles, he finds beauty inside humanity and the places we live.
