About the Item
"Dancing Marmalade Wishes" by Daniel Kettelhut is a surreal, abstract composition alive with warmth, motion, and playful intensity. A glowing red field descends from the upper portion of the painting, gradually giving way to luminous yellows and oranges below, creating a radiant sense of vertical movement and transformation. Biomorphic, floating forms drift and overlap, echoing the artist’s ongoing exploration of layered space and fluid perception. Small, scattered blue accents punctuate the warm palette, offering moments of contrast and visual pause. Transparent glazes and soft transitions allow underlying layers to subtly emerge, while the balance between spontaneity and control lends the work an energetic yet contemplative rhythm. The painting invites viewers into a vivid, dreamlike space where color and motion gently collide.

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
