Room 402

Open your Eyes

I created an understated atmosphere, in contrast
with other rooms, where attention is attracted to a series of expressions inviting us to reflect on ourselves,
our societies and how they work.

In 2006, after years of painting watercolors of musicians, Dan23 opened a gallery in Strasbourg. However, his first solo show took him not into galleries but to festivals and concerts around the world to make live paintings.

In 2013 he decided to quit the stage and engage with the street more intensely, scattering luminous portraits carrying the name of a song and representing different encounters during his life.

The project Tour Paris 13 opened doors and the urban art gallery Mathgoth in Paris invited him to mount a one man show in 2014. 2014 was also the year that Dan23 opened his new Strasbourg gallery called Open Your Eyes at 120 Grand'Rue.
