Dan Witz, who needs to become much better known in the UK by the way, has started on a new project and it is as great as ever. Here are a few images from “Dark Doings“:

Without a doubt, these street pieces are impressive, but what about Witz’ work in the gallery. Here is a piece from the current group show at StolenSpace Gallery:

For me, it doesn’t quite work. I’ve seen pieces by Witz that work very well in the gallery, and he is an amazing painting on the street or indoors, but for the most part, I think his paintings are much more powerful when outdoors and unexpected rather than in galleries or homes.
