Bacia

Having studied fine arts in New York, Brazilian native Daniel Lannes now works out of Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro. Known for his large-scale works, use of colors and brushstrokes, the 38-year-old’s paintings toe the line between expressionism and abstraction. Drawing references from both colonial times and modern Brazilian life. Never afraid to dissect and explore the political and social history of his native Brazil, the gifted Carioca keeps his audience on their toes and is one to keep a firm eye on as his career progresses and evolves.
