Lifting the Veil: The Art of Dan Klepper
All artists serva a master, a purpose greater than themselves. Some artists owe their allegiance to a school of painting, the principles of an aesthetic manifesto or the freedom of self-expression.
For Dan Klepper, the artist is bound by one simple creed: strick fidelity to the subject before him. And this fidelity is not a mere faithfulness to form, capturing the subject physically, as most portraits do, in a representational pose. What Klepper creates is not simply a picture, but a lens that peers beyond the apparent to the wonder and the mystery of each person.
This is painting that gives expression not to the artist's soul but to the essence of the subject itself. It is a study not in form, nor an exhibition of color and technique, but a distillation of the human spirit within the confines of the canvas. His is kind of narrative art. Take a moment and capture a lifetime. Find one telling gesture and portray a person's spirit. Color, harmony, design and the skillful use of composition and light, honed by 25 years experience as a professional photographer, are all wielded to this one end.
For Klepper, art is a mode of lifting the veil. The ordinary and the everyday are revealed. What had only been intimated is now fully formed. For a moment, we are thankful to see perhaps, under the eye of eternity, what the Maker has made.
