Daniel Minter "A Heavy Grace A Shallow Home"

Hammonds House Museum is proud to present our First Annual Art Auction Merit Award Winner Daniel Minter. Daniel Minter is a fine artist working in the mediums of painting, printmaking and sculpture. Minter’s art is heavy with life, weighty, grounded, and simultaneously full-winged. His paintings, sculptures, block prints, drawings, and mixed media assemblages are the sum of more than two decades of labor in the service of remembering. Minter’s Georgia beginnings are the steady fount of his artistic witness. This first, full reckoning of the artist’s mature vision grants us a singular opportunity to recognize and acclaim Minter’s outstanding capacity to say profound things with relatively simple means. The work is not “complicated” in the sense of having to suffer to appreciate it. Rather, Daniel Minter’s art meets us at many levels – speaking plainly to our spirits, in the gestures and layered gossamer textures of the work, as well as to our visual delight in the striking colors, skilled forms, and in the certainty of Minter’s exaggerated love for the soft and bold features of Black bodies.
