Bold strokes, rich textures and a brave use of color are the
hallmarks of this young Frenchman, Dayan, who paints from
and urban studio in Savannah Georgia. Dayan is inspired by
Picasso, but found his motivation, he says, by a visiting angel
who instructed him to become a painter. Dayan rushed to
market, bought paints and canvases and painted like a man
possessed from his home in Paris. Dissastifield at the results.
Dayan burned his first 100 canavases and moved to the
United States of America in 1999.
In that time Dayan has established himself as an up and
coming contemporary artist. Prolific, sometimes completing
two or three large canvases a week, Dayan has strayed his
early Picasso-inspired creations and continues to evolve his
own style. Nor pure Cubism, nor strictly linear, his work often
defies categorization, but always imparts Dayan’s sensitivity
to the spirit of his figural models, the sensuality of organic
still life and the complexity of the urban streetscapes. The
canvases mimic the artist filled with passion,emotion and
boldness.

Abraham Dayan can reach, through an interpretative
lightness, his complex narrative purpose. His painting finds
inspiration from twentieth century’s stylish details, even if
he keeps a strong link with the most contemporary needs of
the public. We are in front of a complete Artist, who has an
original interpretative personality.
