Danny Simmons at the Butler Institute of American Art

The Business Journal Daily reports on the opening of Danny Simmons: Visual Expressions, a solo exhibition of the artist's work at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH. 

"The printing process has 'a magnetic pull for an artist,' Simmons said. 'The transition from a layered painting to a silkscreen print is a powerful evolution. The printing process acts as a mirror, with every layer of ink informing the original artistic decisions I made. Upon seeing the initial prints for my Butler Institute exhibition, my immediate instinct was to continue their story. By integrating textiles and fabric back onto the prints, I bridge the gap between original and reproduction, physically constructing my exploration of deep-seated themes of ancestry, memory and the diaspora.'"
