Danny Warhole

Danny Warhole was born in Pittsburgh, PA in 1982. He grew up in the Midwest and eventually moved to Chicago, IL, where he began focusing more attention on his lifelong love of art. What started as a small series of figure drawings with Sharpie markers, turned into the creation of over 200 hand-drawn digital figure drawings in a unique style that used straight lines to create the contours of nude male figures. Eventually, these pieces were sold in galleries including The Gallery at the Circus of Books in West Hollywood, CA, and exhibited in numerous group art shows across the United States.

 

In 2021, Danny moved to San Diego, CA, where he has continued to produce art with a focus on oil painting and acrylic pointillism painting. Danny's paintings have been exhibited at the Oceanside Museum of Art and at galleries including Jaco Moretti Arts in Palm Springs, CA and The Studio Door in San Diego, CA.

Danny's artwork challenges the skewed treatment of female versus male nudity within the art world. It also seeks to spark conversation about is and is not "erotic" art.  Danny’s work is part auto-biography, part travel log, part drag, part love letter to his husband, and part tribute to the history and evolution of gay culture.
