'I always found fruitful ideas more interesting than the complete development of those ideas'—René Daniëls⁠⁠

Modern Art has announced representation of Dutch artist René Daniëls (b.1950) following a recent exhibition of his works at their gallery in London. ⁠⁠

One of the most esteemed artists of his generation, Daniëls' paintings, which often conjure imagined, geometric spaces, are celebrated for their expressive, fluid nature, graphic simplicity, and relation to architecture. ⁠⁠His works are known to have inspired an influential younger generation of artists, including Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, and Marlene Dumas.⁠⁠
