Daniel Brush
This exhibition pays tribute to the late American artist Daniel Brush (1947-2022), a poet of materiality who was at once a metalworker, a jewelry maker, a philosopher, an engineer, a painter, and a sculptor.
Aluminum, steel, gold, paintings: through jewels, works of art, and objects, the first part of the exhibition puts forward the diversity of mediums and methods in Brush's work, that went beyond traditional art categories. The second part highlights his Thinking about Monet series and explores his rare ability to harness materials to create sublime and ethereal objects.
After graduating from art school at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Brush was a professor at Georgetown University, teaching art philosophy. Since 1978 when he and his wife Olivia moved to New York City, he had been focusing on his work as an artist with myriad antique turning lathes and guilloche-engraving machines that he collected in his loft. He won the Isamu Noguchi Prize in 2022.
