Bio
Daniel Maltzman is fast becoming the new name on the short lists of savvy art collectors. Maltzman's art, which features his signature "Faces," and "Shadows," can be seen across the world, from locations as trendy as One Sunset in Hollywood, CA, to the classic appeal of Yankee Stadium, and across the pond to Amerstram's Amstel Gallery. Continually catching the eye of top Hollywood producers, his work is often featured in film and television, most recently on an episode of Dirty Sexy Money.
An artist for over 15 years, Maltzman's work draws from contemporary influences in his use of color and design but incorporates a pop-culture bent all his own with his use of high-impact shadow images and faces. "My inspiration comes from everything around me," says Maltzman. "A dynamic billboard, a stunning fashion ad, a woman masquerading in the night - anything can set off an idea that will turn into a painting."
The appeal of Maltzman's work has drawn the attention of collectors with an eye toward global talent, looking for styles that can speak across geographic boundaries, including Lee Iacocca, Steve Tish, The Galen Center, Eugenio Lopez (the Jumex Collection), and many others. One such collector has described Maltzman as "one of those quite rare 'breakthrough' artists who is in the process of defining a new vision, a new paradigm, in which you are bringing astute references from the past into a dynamic sensibility of the present, to create a measure of elegance and beauty that I believe has been missing from contemporary art for much too long."
