IN CONVERSATION: MAEVE DOYLE x DAN ALVA
Listen to Maddox Artistic Director Maeve Doyle and Artist Dan Alva about how his style reinvented the art historical canon for a contemporary audience. Fusing iconic artworks with bold geometric designs the artist utilizes traditional oil paint methodology to create his work. With over fifteen years’ experience in the advertising industry, Alva produces striking canvases that are as bold as they are dynamic.
Inspired by the colour, shape and form of existing images, Dan Alva strives to remix the masters, while adhering to the original style and craftsmanship practised by old masters themselves.
