DAN DAILEY<br />

SELECTED WORKS<br />

for <strong>Schantz</strong> <strong>Galleries</strong> 2012<br />

<strong>Illustrating</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Glass</strong><br />

“I am basically an illustrator, who happens to tell stories <strong>with</strong> glass…” <strong>Dan</strong> <strong>Dailey</strong> flatly stated at a recent lecture in New York.<br />

One thing is certain; <strong>Dan</strong> <strong>Dailey</strong> is a story teller, and a perceptive observer of his surroundings. The lens he looks through is<br />

saturated <strong>with</strong> color and a high degree of magnification to capture intricate details others would miss. Aspects of language,<br />

fashion, art, history, politics, relationships and culture at large, are filtered through <strong>with</strong> fine innuendo and nuance.<br />

This exhibition offers a unique vision into <strong>Dailey</strong>'s creative world and demonstrates his enormous capacity as an artist, to<br />

reflect upon the world <strong>with</strong> his sense of humor and thought provoking insinuations using a vast repertoire of materials and<br />

techniques.<br />

<strong>Dailey</strong>’s ideas begin on paper <strong>with</strong> his sketch books. Sometimes these ideas are kept for years before the drawing is realized<br />

into its final complex form. Two such works finally being released from their pages are the large scale Vitrolite murals,<br />

"Serenade" and "Freaked Out and Pissed Off". A certain phrase or offbeat comment may be the very spark that ignites a<br />

sketch, which is then transformed methodically into its three dimensional interpretation.<br />

“Whistler”, shown on the cover, has an electric quality. This piece which <strong>Dan</strong> had been contemplating for some time seems to<br />

be a post modern take on early Cubism. It also happens to be engineered to move physically. Built in springs allow this free<br />

spirit to make a tight little forward and back jig as if jauntily strolling down the avenue <strong>with</strong>out a care in the world.<br />

Four dynamic figurative pieces are featured <strong>with</strong> this collection from <strong>Dailey</strong>'s "Individual Series". This series is perhaps one<br />

of the most successful and longest running explorations in blown glass form that <strong>Dan</strong> has created. These works, which start as<br />

a full scale drawing, are created over a period of months at both his own studio and Benjmamin Moore's hotshop in Seattle.<br />

The individual on page twelve might appear to be a French woman <strong>with</strong> certain savoir faire, who is adaptable and adroit<br />

and knows what to do in any situation. Upon reading the title more carefully, it is not savoir faire, but “Savior Faire” - and a<br />

completely different expression may be read in her slight smile and gesture.<br />

<strong>Dailey</strong> continues to revisit his "Circus Vase" series <strong>with</strong> four wonderful works featured in this catalog. Echoing the streamlined<br />

design of the Art Deco movement, these works express the fantastic feats performed in a circus and are celebrations of the joy<br />

of innocence and youthful wonder.<br />

We invite you to enjoy and experience this fantastic collection of works in this catalog. We are grateful to represent <strong>Dan</strong><br />

<strong>Dailey</strong> at our gallery and to have the opportunity to share these works. His art can be appreciated for its strong beauty and<br />

for its power to make us pause, recollect and reflect upon our own world.<br />
