No Rain No Flowers by Dan Alva

Guy Hepner is pleased to announce No Rain No Flowers, an exhibition of new paintings by Dan Alva from the Outsourced series. He spent his childhood working alongside his father in the family garage and largely credits his craft to him. Based in Miami, Alva takes the classics and reinvents them for a modern-day audience using the original oil paint and painting methods of the Old Masters while integrating modern patterns; such as camouflage and stripes to catch the viewer’s attention. The show is dedicated to his wife Margina and daughter Siena.

About Dan Alva:

Born in 1984, American artist Dan Alva comes from a Spanish background of fine artists. Based in Miami, Alva’s works are a hybrid of mixed-media, sculptures, and paintings, often with subversive undertones. Alva has been working as a creative in Advertising for over 15 years, which is how his Brandalism Series came to fruition. Alva is revealing the truth behind the industry by stealing other brands’ advertisements. Words and phrases are superimposed on the prints, and acrylic spray cans are then punctured and allowed to explode freely onto the advert. Alva’s latest Outsourced Series is a re-interpretation of old master paintings using original materials and methods with a modern approach. He also has work in the New Museum of New York and The Museum of Modern Art’s permanent film collection.
