Self-taught, multidisciplinary artist and designer Daniel Hicks (b. 1974, New York) spent two decades navigating the margins as a freelance graphic designer, operating primarily within the underground music and art scene, which he has interacted with and participated in since the late 1980s.
Having largely transitioned away from client-based work, Daniel's focus now lies entirely on his own creative musings and manifestations. His insistence on reductive methods of creation, grid-based design principles, and deliberately narrow color palette allow him to transmit a coherent visual language while navigating multiple avenues of expression.
His work can be viewed online, in publications, or in-person at galleries and boutiques both domestically and internationally.
Currently, Daniel resides and works in San Diego, California.
Utilizing a range of materials (from found to fabricated), I design seemingly ordered, nonrepresentational compositions that are intentionally punctuated by minor structural alterations and subtle graphic irregularities.
