Although
life in the circus depends on discipline, struggle and sacrifice, it is
divergent thinking that is the catalyst for the magic. This show is
dedicated to the performer and the double lives they must lead.
"It
has been said by many artists that art is often the result of a
struggle. I can attest to this based on years of devoting my abilities
to an art form heavily reliant on discipline. Both the body and the mind
are fully employed in such an effort. In my case it is the urge to
create ever upstaged challenges both in my paintings and my real life as
well, that gets me from frenzy to frustration to exhaustion. I strive
to work sculpturally and architecturally as I paint. Each time the
environment becomes more of an obstacle as I encounter the physical
limitations inherent with being human."
Born
in 1963 in a rural town in Maine, Daniel Merriam is one of seven
artistic children. He taught himself to paint at a very young age, and
used his art as a method of reflective play throughout his childhood. He
went on to study mechanical and architectural design at Central Maine
Vocational Technical Institute. While still in school, he applied his
dimensional skills and passion for architecture to his family's design
and construction business.In 1986, Merriam shifted his focus solely to
fine art, and later that year had his first solo exhibition in Maine.
Since then, his exhibitions throughout the United States & Europe
have been lauded and achieved critical acclaim. Merriam's work is
included in countless private collections and in such public collections
as The Riverside Museum of Art in California, The Gesundheit! Institute
in Virginia, the Manhattan Club in New York, and the Merrill Lynch
collection.
