“那些体现在建筑物中的欲望深深吸引着我，尽管没有个体的直接出现，但又与个体的欲望息息相关。”—— Daniel Rich

“What is intriguing to me is that the desires expressed in these buildings are in neither case those of ‘the people’ but are instead closely linked to the desires of individuals.” – Daniel Rich

现居纽约布鲁克林的德国艺术家Daniel Rich生于1977年。作为一个全球数字化时代的艺术家，他旨在通过对广州圆大厦和平壤柳京饭店这一类标志性的大型建筑的描绘，来引起有关政治权利在建筑中的体现的反思。悦目的配色和规律的网格构成了迷人的画面；但他并不止步于对于场景的简单表现，而是进一步地揭示了欲望如何通过建筑呈现。

Daniel Rich所表现的特大都市中的公寓集合通常具有迷惑性，往往刻画出引人不安的没有人类存在的真实场所。在这些无处不在却又陌生的场景里，个体的意愿在个体不存在的情况下仍能通过画面里城市的各个窗口涌现出来。遍布在城市角落里隐蔽的设施同样被有意地描绘成别具象征性的空间，展示着建筑如何昭示着欲望。

Daniel Rich通常选择带有一定时代讯息的图像作为其绘画的参考，并认为自己的作品是某种形式上的历史绘画。他把欲望，设计和时间作为其创作的三个主要元素。

Daniel Rich was born in 1977 in Ulm, Germany, and currently living in New York.  As a global artist in the digital age, Daniel Rich portrays iconic examples of architectural monuments, such as the plastics exchange in Guangzhou and the pyramid hotel in Pyongyang, in order to evoke reconsideration about how the political power is embodied in architecture. With pleasing color coordination and disciplined gridding, his paintings depict spaces in a compelling but profound way that goes beyond simple representation and reveals how the desire mirrored by architecture.

Daniel Rich’s portraits of apartment complexes in megalopolises bewilder and upset audience by displaying a real place without the existence of people. In these ubiquitous but strange scenes, the wills of individuals are articulated sliently through every window in the city with their absence. Hidden infrastructures that pervade in all corners of the city are also portrayed in filters as symbolic spaces that demonstrate how architecture manifests desire.

Selecting images of architecture, which was always able to provide clues about a period in time, from all around the world, Daniel Rich views his works as a form of history paintings, and perfects his subjects within the Desire-Design-Chronology triangle.
