Dan Treado

Employing unique tools, such as squeegees and scrapers, artist Dan Treado is able to manipulate solvent and oil paint into luminous, richly surfaced paintings. Treado's paintings are process works that borrow from sources such as film and photography, physics and biology textbooks, and electron microscope images. His multi-paneled canvas and mylar works explore the relationship between science and art and more recently the way in which we look at film and view a painting. Treado studied at Georgetown University, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and Pratt Institute; he exhibits in New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC.
