Posted by Fabio 10 February 2012
Danny Quirk is a fine artist based in Massachusetts, Springfield. A recent graduate from the Pratt Institute, New York, specializing in photo realistic watercolors, “painting what the camera can’t capture. My work is perceivably on the darker side, but the actually is, it’s about exploration.”
Out of Reach (above)
This piece is about the strive for the one girl that catches the eye among the others, the prettiest of all, the one most wanted, but is just out of reach. Throughout the series, this particular rose will be used to represent the particular girl.
Self – Dissections
Aspiring to become a medical illustrator, these works were done in my senior year at Pratt Institute. Always having been interested in anatomy/the body, decided to do a series of paintings combining Classical aesthetics with a surreal approach. I plan to work on this series for about another 6 months while I am taking prerequisite courses for graduate school requirements, where I intend to become a medical illustrator.
Unmasked Emotion
This piece is about pretending to be happy with someone, but in actuality, you’re miserable underneath. The rose on the shoulder is symbolic of the guy’s ever present love for the girland here, she is beginning to see.
