“Iceberg (a)” by Daniel T Walworth, on view in Bending the Arc.
Daniel Walworth was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA where he began studying art at an early age with Mr. Fitzpatrick’s Saturday Art Classes at the Carnegie Museum. He later enrolled in the pre-college program at Carnegie Mellon University. After High School, Walworth attended Rhode Island School of Design where he graduated with a double major in Painting and Film/Video Arts. In 1977, he moved to New York City and studied for 2 years at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.
Walworth began working in the Film and Television industry in the 1980’s and worked as an Editor, a Sound Engineer, and a Director of Photography. At that time, he produced several short films which were screened in numerous small independent film venues, festivals, and art museums. From 1986 through 1989, he founded and curated the video program at Artists Space in NYC. Artists Space was, (and still is) a non-profit art gallery dedicated to showing the work of emerging artists. The video program consisted of daily screenings of independent films, videos, and multimedia events, as well as evening film screenings and guest lectures. Walworth organized shows with artists from around the world, including many local artists from NY State.
In 1990, he formed Walworth Television, a small production company which provided crews, equipment and logistics for television production. Their work has aired extensively on the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, and PBS, as well as part of many corporate websites.
After a long hiatus, he gradually began painting again. Walworth works mostly from photographs using watercolors, and splits his time now between Brooklyn and Salt Point, NY.
“Icebergs are monuments to the fragility of our planet in this Anthropocene Age. They melt. And their melting can be slowed, but only through a never before accomplished coordination of humans: of political actors. Icebergs are daunting and ominous.” - Daniel T Walworth
