About

Dan Gausman (b. 1987) works out of his studio in Brooklyn, New York. Gausman engages with a wide range of materials including tennis court paint, concrete, burlap and sandpaper. Their work has been featured in Domino Magazine, Gothamist, and Animal New York.

In addition to his fine art practice, Dan is a co-director of the NYC based art gallery 95 Gallon.

As a professional scenic artist and member of USA 829 / IATSE, he has amassed a filmography that includes Severance (Apple TV), In The Heights (Warner Brothers), Fallout (Amazon), A House of Dynamite (Netflix) and Spielberg’s Disclosure Day (Universal).

Artist Statement

My evolving painting and sculpture practice examines the various ways boundaries govern human experience. Whether spatial, technological or psychological, boundaries manifest as both tangible and invisible architectures. Using materials such as concrete and tennis court paint, which are traditionally associated with containment and demarcation, I interrogate how these systems operate. By fragmenting and abstracting boundary forms, I propose new intersections where structure meets feeling.
