Artist Statement for Abraham Michael Dayan
|
|
|
Dayan originates from France,but immigrated to the United States in 1999.Since that time,his work has been exhibited several times.In 2001 he won 2nd place for "Window Concept Painting",sponsored by the Bureau Of Cultural Affairs of Savannah Ga.Now he is exhibiting for the first time on the "old continent".I will tell you briefly how Dayan,in his own words,came to painting.It reminds me a little of the Italian Renaissance,Michelangelo.Dayan says an angel appeared to him and said to him to become a painter.Thereupon,he hurried to the nearest department store,where he purchased paint and brushes and began to paint.In the same manner,Cellini writes in his autobiography that an angel appeared to him while imprisoned in a Roman castle and instructed him to strike a crusifix from marble,wich is still to be admired today in the Prado Museum of Madrid.Dayan howewer,was dissatisfied with what he painted and burned his first 100 canvases,much like Michelangelo who burned that which did not please him in his perfectionism.Dayan does not paint naturally like Michelangelo,although he does paint with speed and obsession.He paints rather a little like Picasso,even if in this early phase of his art disassociated himself from Picasso and developped his own independance of his own.
