Dan Walsh

Biography

Dan Walsh (b. 1960, Philadelphia, PA) is a painter, printmaker, bookmaker, and sculptor.  Rooted in a meditative geometry, his work explores the boundaries of abstraction through subtly irregular shapes, inconstant lines and a pervasive wit. Walsh’s work has been exhibited in venues throughout the U.S. and Europe, including the Museum of Modern Art and the New Museum, New York; the Centre national d’art contemporain, Nice; The Rhode Island School of Design Art Museum, Providence; and The Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain, Geneva, Switzerland. He has also been included in the Ljubljiana Biennial, Slovenia, the Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art, France, and the Whitney Biennial (2014). In 2019, his work was the subject of a retrospective of ten years of work at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. He is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Jumex Collection, Mexico City; and the Musée d’art Moderne et Contemporain in Geneva, among other institutions.
