about his work
Daniel Dove's paintings combine highly controlled surfaces with random chance drips and mark-making. Among many influences, his work references 19th century painting, communicating the banality of contemporary urban landscapes through perspective and light.

the top ten
1. Other artists, alive and dead. A professor of mine once said “you know it’s good if you feel threatened”. I’m
not sure if he’s right, but I think about it often.
2. Talking about art with passionate friends and students.
3. Film, even if I spend about $40 per Netflix rental.
4. Music recommended by students with stylish hair.
5. Computer-generated imagery and forms.
6. NPR
7. Driving around with the “art eyes” on.
8. Computer games (a fading interest). Sometimes I play Grand Theft Auto just to watch the sunset.
9. Shamefully, serious reading comes in at #9, but it hopes to make the final four by season’s end.
10. More shamefully, shopping on Ebay for sneakers that I basically already own.
