Darkness, chaos, and intensity are terms that provoke strong reactions and guide the work of Daniel C. Müller (*1994). Daniel C. Müller lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland, and bases his artistic practice on drawing. He translates and expands the drawn line into other media such as woodcut, monotype, ceramics, sculpture, and installation. With gloomy landscapes and reimagined historical war scenes, he delves into the fascination with the abysmal. While self-destruction is associated with his work, it is rejected in the same breath. This precarity of existence can also be found in works that immerse themselves in queer subculture and portray people in search of themselves.
