Chicago native Dan Witz delves into a realm characterized by hyper realism and photo-quality paintings with his latest experimental series. At first look it’s quite easy to assume Witz’s latest “Mosh Pits” Paintings are photographs of actual concert chaos. The level of detail, shading and lighting that Witz infuses into each painting results in an impressive series of lie-like works of art. Representing his Gallery Work portfolio, the Mosh Pits series rounds out Witz’s extensive range of diverse work that encompasses both high-end paintings and gritty street art iterations as well.
