Dan Oliver is a Chicago based artist whose work is influenced by Pop Art and Surrealism. He is a lover of history and philosophy, and both of these interests influence his studio practice. His 2021 solo exhibition, “Afire,” at the Evanston Art Center, opened on the 150th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, kicking off his most recent body of work, concerned with endings, beginnings, and transformation. His imagery has attracted an international audience, with recent exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hong Kong, Paris, Madrid and Tokyo.
