Reidy draws his metaphorical adaptations from ancient myth and mythological dramas, from ancient Greek to biblical, and epic artworks by renaissance masters.

 

Highly observant and detail-conscious, Dan adamantly revisits and presents repeated, repaired and doctored adaptations of a single idea in various visual alterations, each a complete individual work of art. Producing series of collateral vivid, passionate and inexplicably poignant paintings, installations and performance happenings.

 

Daniel Reidy lives in Elmira, New York and teaches at the University of the Arts and Corning Community College.
