Danny Perkins: Dark Moses

Danny Perkins’ approach to art blends his extensive experience in glass sculpture with his current work in painting. The idea that color holds emotional weight— whether we’re aware of it or not— is a fascinating lens through which to view his work. Perkins engages with the tradition of color field painting, inviting viewers to connect with deeper, often subconscious, feelings and memories. The horizon line, a recurring motif, is an anchor in his abstractions, offering structure and access to a deeper, more meditative experience. It’s a way to juxtapose order with chaos, which is particularly timely in today’s turbulent world.
