About the Item
"Towards a Better Way" unfolds as a layered, shifting field of biomorphic forms that seem to search for balance within an unstable environment. Soft, vessel-like shapes in pale whites and muted greens float across a warm, neutral ground, interrupted by dark smudges and drips of red, blue, and black. These suspended forms suggest bodies, shelters, or inner spaces, simultaneously fragile and resilient. The dripping paint introduces a sense of gravity and time, implying erosion, vulnerability, and ongoing change. Transparency and overlapping layers blur boundaries between foreground and background, reinforcing uncertainty while allowing moments of clarity to emerge. The composition reads as a quiet journey—an abstract meditation on adaptation, resilience, and the persistent human desire to move forward through complexity toward hope.

Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1966, Daniel Ketelhut is an emerging painter who currently resides in San Diego, California. Ketelhut graduated in 1990 from San Diego State University with a BA in Art, emphasis in studio art, and was recognized with distinction in his major. The otherworldly subject matter of his imaginative, colorful paintings is largely self-generated. Depicting strange, biomorphic creatures and fantastic realms, it often explores the themes of mystery and transcendence. In addition to his formal education, Ketelhut is self-taught, which he considers to be just as important. His work has been seen in several solo exhibitions as well as numerous group shows both locally and nationally. His work is included in both national and international private collections. “I draw and paint to lift the veils of everyday and catch glimpses of a world which seems strange and unfamiliar, but is reflective of what is in many ways a more substantial reality – the inner, subconscious world available to all of us.” – Ketelhut
