Daniel Clurman approaches the human face as pure emotion conveyed through saturated color and energetic brush strokes.He makes drawings and paintings of himself, his family and people he admires either from history or social media. Clurman’s process begins by researching a subject through images and imagining them as part of his visual world.  His goal is to reveal humanity and the intersections of race and gender within the images he chooses.  The visual representation of Clurman’s BIPOC queerness has been the fundamental reason for making his work.
