Dan Gluibizzi

Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 by Dan Gluibizzi. This exhibition brings together large-scale paintings on paper and free-standing two-sided sculpture paintings that draw from the vast reservoir of contemporary visual culture, including found photographs, digital clip art, and drawings of everyday objects. Gluibizzi's process is one of patient accumulation, images are gathered and tended over time, forming a visual ecology where meaning emerges through proximity and care. Still life and the figure serve as recurring frameworks, while ancient myth, personal memory, and everyday imagery converge in the same pictorial territory. The result is a body of work that feels simultaneously familiar and dreamlike, where stylized flowers, humble objects, and the human form inhabit a neighboring world that is not something remote or imagined, but something already present in the images and objects that surround us.

Dan Gluibizzi lives and works in Portland, Oregon. He received a BFA from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and went on to earn an MFA from University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Gluibizzi is the recipient of a 2025 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He has an international reputation and has created illustrations for The New York Times and Vogue and has been featured in selected press, including Juxtapoz, Whitewall, Wired, The Observer, Print Magazine, Beautiful Decay, and New American Paintings. Since 2006, Gluibizzi has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
