Dan Colen Follow Burn the House Down signed, titled, inscribed and dated "DC. 0894 "BURN THE HOUSE DOWN" Daniel Colen 2012" on the overlap flowers on linen 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm.) Executed in 2012.
Provenance Massimo De Carlo, Milan Private Collection Artist Bio Dan Colen American • 1979 Follow American artist Dan Colen has spent most of his career asking himself questions about the editorial decisions artists have to make when creating a scene from scratch on canvas. In his early work, Colen painted mundane interiors punctuated with fantastical elements. This manifested as part of a growing curiosity in the ethereal or divine intervention. Colen subsequently stepped away from paint as material and started using found objects as mediums with which to paint. Among these, Colen has used chewing gum, street trash, confetti, feathers, flowers and dirt. This methodology allows Colen to abandon control and create in a more free-form, subconscious manner.
