The Emotional Show

A Wisconsin native, Daniel Bodner received a B.A. in Art from the University of Wisconsin in 1985 and moved to New York City. After working in the New York art world for several years he went abroad and settled in Amsterdam. He describes the city as “a new place where I had to invent my own reality every day. My paintings were generated from an interior dialogue, unplanned and organic in process, and were fueled by my life as a stranger — an outsider looking in.” In 2005 he returned to New York where he currently lives and works. Bodner’s paintings have been exhibited at Galerie Marten Mertens in Berlin, Germany; Galerie Roger Katwijk in Amsterdam, Netherlands; and Roy Boyd Gallery, Chicago, IL. They are included in the Louisville, KY Public Collection and the collection of the BMO Harris Bank, Chicago, IL.
