About the Item
"Night Nightmares" presents a turbulent cluster of fractured, biomorphic forms suspended within a dark, nocturnal space. Pale, ghostlike shapes in cool blues and whites collide with sharp, blood-red accents, creating a sense of unease and psychological tension. The layered transparency suggests images surfacing and receding, much like fragmented memories within a dream. Jagged contours and fluid transitions blur the boundary between figure and abstraction, evoking distorted bodies or predatory presences without resolving into a fixed image. The surrounding darkness amplifies the sensation of isolation and threat, while the rhythmic repetition of forms conveys restlessness and repetition. Overall, the painting captures the disquieting logic of nightmares—where fear, memory, and imagination merge into a single, unstable vision.

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
