Daniel Verbis

The work of Spanish painter Daniel Verbis challenges pictorial language the way his title challenges the written kind: it pushes the limits, and overruns ordinary frames. Misojosentusojosderramándose, translated literally as "My Eyes Spilling Into Yours," encapsulates Verbis's desire to reach his audience, as well as his exuberance. In recent paintings incorporating circular designs that cover walls, ceilings and floors, as well as peephole features and engaging visual plays that call to mind Duchamp or Magritte, Verbis draws a response that is at once provocative and deeply inviting. This first major publication provides a panoramic and highly illustrative view of his remarkable career to date.
