Yesterday was a “welcome to Salem” post so I figured we could keep with the theme for today! Danyelle Lakin Fine Arts has recently opened up in Salem and their official grand opening is on the 19th. Details are per Danyelle Lakin’s website and the Salem Chamber of Commerce.
About
“With an inquisitive stance and both a love of color and concept, Salem based artist Danyelle Lakin’s aim is to create pretty yet provocative paintings, in essence, about the Human Condition. In striving to portray the wonderfully interesting world of dysfunction and imperfection (and hence, the beauty found within), cheerfully kitsch imagery is playfully used in contrast to the deeper, more ominous undercurrents and implications when the surface is scratched.
Primarily a figurative painter, the eyes are often the central focus of the artwork, the rationale being the artist firmly believes in the cliché of the “eyes being the window to the soul”. In turn, the mouths are painted smaller as “actions speak louder than words”
Grand opening
“Hello, My name is Danyelle Lakin and am exited to say that Salem has recently became my new home and business location. Currently based at The Hawthorne Building at 201 Washington Street, Suite 100b, I’m primarily a figurative painter and have created a gallery and working studio, located conveniently near to Starbucks in downtown Salem. I’m eager to meet the public and fellow Chamber members and warmly welcome you to my studio, which is open everyday except Tues. I would also like to invite you to my official Gallery Opening on October 19th from 5pm-9pm, where refreshments will be served. Hope to see you there!”
The studio is located at 201 Washington St. Suit 100B Salem, MA 01970. Enjoy!! <3
