Simple, quotidian moments inform the artwork of painter Dan Climan. Born in Montreal, he received his BFA from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada. His paintings depict the familiar-feeling that touch on themes of escapism in a brief, concise plot that often has no resolution. Dan uses precise lines and exact forms, a skill honed through his almost decade long background as a tattooer and graphic designer.
We visited his studio in Montreal to talk about his creative practice, graphic design influences and connection to nostalgic moments.
