The opening of Daniel Maltzman’s gallery in Beverly Hills further establishes the artist as a major contemporary painter who associates fine art with popular culture. The gallery encompasses Maltzman’s entire oeuvre and is representative of his progression as an artist and his many inspirations. Maltzman’s work is true to the Pop art tradition of unique reproducibility and its repetition of iconog
raphy. However, each painting is distinct in its composition and idiosyncratic of the artists’ style. The consistency and bold allure of Maltzman’s paintings have attracted collectors like Petra Ecclestone, Adrian Grenier, Steve Tisch, Garry Tallen of the Bruce Springsteen band, and the Galen Center at USC. True to his Beverly Hills roots, the artist’s paintings have been featured in television shows like Nip Tuck, Dirty Sexy Money, The Dog Whisperer, Millionaire Matchmaker, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Maltzman also exhibited in Amstel Gallery in The Netherlands and Weber Fine Art in New York City. A client of Maltzman’s has described him as “one of those quite rare ‘breakthrough’ artists who is in the process of defining a new vision, a new paradigm, in which you are bringing astute references from the past into a dynamic sensibility of the present, to create a measure of elegance and beauty that I believe has been missing from contemporary art for much too long.”
The down to earth artist’s success is hard earned and well deserved. Maltzman is continuously inspired to create art that is both understated and glamorous. His gallery and body of work is a fine example of Southern California’s Contemporary art scene. Maltzman invites those eager to explore and discover his work to his gallery: “Come check out my retrospective works from the last 20 years and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I hope you can find a painting that you can fall in love with.” Daniel Maltzman Gallery and its collection of the artist’s work personifies the best attributed with Los Angeles, including its glamour and chic style.
