Combining the techniques of drawing and papercutting, Dan Landau creates detailed artworks by drawing on paper maps and then cutting out the empty spaces around the drawing and the roads with a craft knife.
“I draw on maps because for me, maps are a perfect metaphor for connection and exploration,” says Landau.
“Roads take us places and connect us to others and I want my art to do the same. To me, art is about exploration and venturing to different places in your mind and the consequent development of new ideas that travel – both literal and metaphorical – brings.”
A resident of Bridgewater, NJ, Dan is available for commissioned work and sells both originals and fine art prints.
