About the Item
In "Always a Nightmare Never a Dream; Never a Whisper Always a Scream", Daniel Ketelhut presents a large-scale 30" x 40" oil-on-canvas that captures a heightened state of "emotional intensity". The work embodies the theme of **Karma and Rebirth** by alchemically transmuting "chaotic scribbles" into mature, biomorphic forms that feel both strange and substantial.
A dramatic palette of deep umber and fiery crimson clashes with ethereal teal and ghostly white, creating a "fantastic realm" of "subconscious imagery". True to the doctrine of "dependent origination", Ketelhut utilizes transparent glazes and rhythmic dripping paint to suggest constant flux and movement. By surrendering to the evolving process, he invites viewers to interpret this mysterious topography through the lens of their own life experiences.

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
