DEPTH BE DEPTH
New Work by Daniel Feldman
Daniel Feldman passed away unexpectedly on November 21, 2024. He had finished all the work for this exhibition before he died and was eagerly looking ahead to February to share it in his first exhibit at Gallery A3. He will be deeply missed by all who loved and knew him.
Most of Feldman’s works from the past decade are composed as diptychs, or visual “segments," as he referred to them. Each segment has a foundation in photographic images that he shot as raw material, and he used Photoshop as the medium to dramatically transform and layer that photographic information. He felt that his digital tools in many ways transcended the freedom that oil painting had given him over two decades before. “I’m deeply fascinated by the combination, juxtaposition, and clashing of different types of visual space—both painterly and photographic,” Dan has stated. Relationships among initially disparate fragments—visual, conceptual, and emotional—arise from the artist’s experience, evolving as he worked.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Daniel Feldman (1957–2024) studied art and art history at Princeton University, where he worked with the painter Sean Scully. He moved to New York City and worked as Scully’s studio assistant, then received an MA in Painting from Hunter College in 1982 and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 1989. During the 1980s he spent time in Rome and Venice, Italy, painting and learning from what surrounded him there.
Feldman taught art and art history at the New York Academy of Art and Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania, where he was recruited to be Head of Technology. In 1999 he moved to Massachusetts, where he was VP for Capital Projects and VP for Campus Planning at Brandeis University for most of his 21 years there.
After retiring, he relocated to Northampton, and worked full-time as an artist. Feldman was an artist member at Bromfield Gallery in Boston from 2009 to 2023, and joined Gallery A3 in December 2023.
