Dan Forlenza is a multidisciplinary artist based in Woodstock, New York, where he is an active artist member of the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum. Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media on canvas, his practice explores the psychological weight of the modern human condition through the lenses of Pop Surrealism and Figurative Neo-Expressionism.
Forlenza’s roots in figurative and narrative art run deep. He was nationally published as a featured comic artist for King Features Syndicate in the weekly publication The New Breed and as the co-creator of the sci-fi graphic novel SUPERBUG. Today, he translates that strong illustrative foundation into highly tactile, loosely painted canvases. His current work relies on raw, expressive brushwork to challenge the hyper-curated aesthetic of the modern attention economy, offering a tangible rebellion against an increasingly oversaturated world controlled by algorithms.
