 "Dan
has been making art forever, and from his resume you will see an
impressive list of shows, both as soloist, as participant and as
curator. ... He has been extremely active in the gay community, using
art as an effective means of communicating what it means to be gay in
a largely straight world. He has created works with real impact on
the subject of prejudice, AIDS and of grief that AIDS has on those
affected. His is largely an art with a message and yet it is always
alluringly beautiful, albeit often with thorns. Words and allegory
play a big part in the composition of his work, whether they are
performance, installations, or occasionally painting. His works are
not obscure; they speak directly and forcefully and hit the viewer in
the gut."
