Dan McDermott paints dynamic photo-realist canvases. His work is original and expertly executed. Always emphasising the choice of subject matter, his work may depict a New York street scene, a speeding car, the exterior of a San Francisco tenement block or a distant urban landscape.

McDermott derives his material from film or television or from his own cine-film. The process is a layered technique that enthusiastically embraces technological visual media. By progressing through various generations of production, McDermott arrives at his rich representations typified by heightened colour and tone. His works are defined by a personal style enlivened by compositional cropping and unusual vantage points.
