Information about the artist Daniel Wall from Park West Gallery:
Daniel Wall is the innovator behind intense impressionism, a contemporary style that brings the impressionist art movement from the 1800’s into the modern era with vivid colors, heavy textures, and messages of joy and love. From his subjects to his techniques, every aspect of Wall’s works has an optimistic meaning behind it, which he reinforces with each stroke of his palette knife. Drawing on his passion for art that began in early childhood, Wall creates expressive landscapes, cityscapes and floral paintings that appeal to art lovers across the globe.
Born in a small village in northern China in 1965, Wall began drawing and painting at the young age of 4. Crayons were a rarity in his household, so Wall’s aunt, an elementary school teacher, brought home chalk and pencils for Wall to use. His mother, a talented self-taught artist, also encouraged Wall’s interest in art.
Wall took every opportunity to draw or paint after school, earning numerous art awards in his youth. At 16 years old Wall received a government scholarship to study art at Laiyang Teachers College, an academy that only accepts a handful of students every year. Following his graduation in 1983, Wall worked as a full-time art professor in the Teacher’s College in his hometown and later furthered his education by graduating from Shandong University of Arts in 1987. After graduating, Wall worked as an illustrator and fine art editor for the “Fire Fighter Journal” of Shandong Province.
Soon after he began teaching, Wall became fascinated by Impressionism and one of its founders, Claude Monet. While teaching about Monet to his students, Wall would sometimes duplicate a painting by Monet many times to better understand the artist’s techniques. During that time, Wall realized that the moderate colors and textures in Impressionist paintings could only realistically depict light. Wall desired for the colors to be more vibrant and the texture to be stronger to reflect the excitement, fast paced, and high intensity of modern life.
One day in 1984, Wall decided to adapt the unique Chinese “Dry-Brush” calligraphy and painting technique, using a palette knife to apply additional colors to some of his oil paintings to enhance their intensity. When his family and friends were amazed by these paintings, Wall realized he discovered something special. He continued to use palette knives and hone his stye, and in the process, Intense Impressionism was born.
In 1995, Wall and his wife immigrated to the United States to further their education. Wall earned a Master’s Degree in Mathematics with computer science concentration from Georgia Southern University, but instead of pursuing a career in this field, Wall followed his lifelong passion and became a full-time artist.
Wall resided in Florida to draw inspiration from its ocean scenes and tropical landscapes, though he left briefly to study fine art in Italy for three months. Later, he returned to Italy multiple times to draw further inspiration from the country’s architecture and culture. His artistic development was solidified through is extensive experience as an art professor, illustrator, and art editor. In 2000, Wall began featuring his artwork on auction television shows, resulting in a national following.
In 2006, Wall, his wife, and their 6-year-old son moved to North Carolina. Wall paints full time while his wife works as a professor at East Carolina University. In 2007, they welcomed a daughter to their family. Wall continues to reside in North Caroline, and his paintings are widely collected in the United States and around the world.
