Work Daniel Heidkamp was born in Wakefield, Massachusetts in 1980. Heidkamp is an American contemporary figurative painter. Painter Daniel Heidkamp follows in the traditions of Edward Hopper, David Hockney, and Peter Doig.Lehrer, “Artist Daniel Heidkamp Paints From Life in New Show "Barbizon Beauty School””, Forbes Magazine, March 11, 2015’’ His subject matter ranges from woodland scenes from his native New England, to Brooklyn interiors, to brightly colored semi-abstract landscapes, as exemplified by his Bounce House series. The artist begins by sourcing images and then reworking them in al fresco and studio studies before creating his canvases with thickly built impasto adding detail to his oil compositions. “My source material comes from 'on-the-spot' painting,” Heidkamp has explained. “I sit outside with my canvas on the ground and try to capture moments when the ordinary world appears entirely otherworldly.”“Daniel Heidkamp Finds Greatness in Normalcy”, BlouinArtInfo, June 26, 2014’’ Heidkamp's work will be included in a group exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in June 2017. Heidkamp lives and works in Brooklyn, New York City, New York.
