Dan Workman

WORK(MAN) IN PROGRESS

I got into fountain pens in 2018 and quickly made my first big mess with ink. I found that I saw things in the dried shapes and wondered if others could as well, so I kept at it, developing precious little craft and a high tolerance for rejected work. Oddly, my creative success in music production liberated me from the weight of forming an identity as a visual artist.

 

Early in 2023, Wayne Gilbert encouraged me to show my fountain pen ink art, which sounded fun at the time. Neither he nor I knew it would be The Gspot Contemporary’s last show. While I hate the idea of Wayne not being here to guide me, his final text to me was him making sure I’d keep my obligation for a September show. 

 

At age 65, I’m not exactly claiming a unique space in the artistic firmament, and I’m not in conversation with anything other than my sense of humor. I am, however, grateful that Wayne and others have shown interest and shared my delight in my work. I’m both sad and honored to be the closing show at “The G.”
