Daniel J. van Ackere

As a boy, I entered a world of illusion and fantasy when my father brought me to his operatic production of Hansel and Gretel. My initial fascination with that world has persisted, and my personal and strongest work continually evolves and refers back to that sensory experience of otherworldliness.

My recent work is comprised of bodies of still images that figuratively, as well as literally, blur lines and explore figure-ground anomalies in diverse environments.
