Oil on Canvas, Linen and Board
Howard Danelowitz is known for his animated films and as an abstract painter. His film work included making independent productions for over 25 years. He received grants from the American Film Institute, and the New York State Council the Arts and won awards at various film festivals including the New York Film Festival, where his film was eligible for an Academy Award. Currently, his films are distributed exclusively by the Museum of Modern Art and placed in their permanent film collection. He has been an Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute, and taught at the University of the Arts, and Mass College of Art.
Howard’s abstract paintings have been exhibited at the opening of the Richard Meir Building in Brooklyn New York, and more recently at the Gloucester New York City as a permanent solo installation. In addition, he has a unique venue on Instagram, danelowitzpaintings, titled, “Inspirational Designers”. His artwork can be seen alongside the most sophisticated interiors imaginable. He has highlighted Elle Decor magazines A-List - the annual registry of the most stylish, influential, and innovative interior designers from around the world. Mr. Danelowitz has received enthusiastic reviews from such noted designers, as Amy Lau, Dan Fink, Nicole Fuller, and Fox-Nahem.
Howard works spontaneously with color, line and shape following an intuitive process. He constantly references back to his previous work, building on themes, and making connections between his pieces. A newer series of works called, Novo Spheres, started out with simple circular shapes, and continues to develop into more complex imagery. The artist continues to coax his work forward to find out what is meaningful, and lasting.
