Danny Thach: Best Buddies in the NIAD Annex Gallery

 

About Danny Thach:

Danny Thach is a versatile artist stylistically and materially. He practices primarily in printmaking, painting, ceramics and fiber art. Rather than having a specific chosen medium, Thach likes all materials equally.

A meticulous draftsman, his process is precise and methodical. He shares that he works in pencil first and paint second when working on a canvas painting. Screen printing is a focal point for Thach’s attention to detail, a process he uses to create his handmade t-shirts.

Thach has been a prolific artist since childhood and has used internet searches and resources to feed into his work at NIAD. Keith Haring, the Nintendo character Yoshi, ducks and the Spanish national flag are significant touchstones recurring throughout Thach’s body of work. He often depicts cityscapes, but shares that he prefers country scenes.

Thach frequently returns to subjects of categorization within his work. This may include categorizing colors, national flags, songs and traffic signs. Often Thach ascribes NIAD community members colors and years within his drawing practice as a means of connection.

Opening reception: Saturday April1st 1 to 4pm
