After The Rain In West Tisbury by Dan VanLandingham
Dan VanLandingham is an acrylic artist born and raised on Martha’s Vineyard. His timeless, landscape paintings focus primarily on traditional representations of bucolic island scenes.  

Dan studied painting at The University of Aberystwyth in Wales, Green Mountain College and Savannah College of Art and Design, where he received an MA in 2011. While in graduate school, Dan began to explore a more conceptual style, incorporating elements of human encroachment and the relationship between humans and their natural surroundings. 

Inspired by Island painters such as Allen Whiting as well as the Hudson River School painters, Dan sets out to paint idealistic representations of beloved Island locations, stripping them down of all human interruptions. “The places I paint are places I experience, and places that I’ve grown up going to,” Dan says. “I want to see the most ideal version of that scene, not necessarily the most realistic.”  

Dan’s process has evolved to incorporate textural elements. He sees himself as the “landscaper” of the scenes he creates, by physically manipulating dried acrylic on glass to build features onto a traditionally painted composition. 

Dan has exhibited work both nationally and internationally, including Art Expo New York and Art Hamptons. His work has been reviewed in American Art Collector, New American Painting, The New York Times and Art Business News, and he is often commissioned to do large scale projects, including a specific mural recently included in the Mercedes Benz Stadium Art Collection in Atlanta, Georgia. Represented on the Vineyard at the Granary Gallery, Dan lives and works in West Tisbury.
