Daniel Graham Loxton

Montclair, New Jersey 1987

Daniel Graham Loxton lives and works in Cold Spring, New York. He earned a BFA at the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY. 

In his diverse body of work, Daniel Graham Loxton seamlessly blends mixed media techniques, encompassing paintings, drawings, and assemblage. This expansion of traditional painting explores universal concepts such as accretion, rhizomatic structures, and entropy. Each piece possesses the ability to take on recognizable symbols or linger as pure abstract forms. Preliminary drawings, text, and collage often reappear as abstracted moments, combining the artist’s interest in Renaissance codexes with contemporary painting. Found, collected objects are attached, and sometimes removed from the surface, and these traces contribute to the composition. The deliberate delay in blending dry pigments with slow-drying oil mediums invites time to become an active participant in the process, requiring each work to undergo a period of gestation, or ripening. The artwork evolves into a loosely structured representation of the present moment, responding to environments both physical and psychological, at once abstract and concrete.
