Celebrating Artistic Brilliance: Daniel Horowitz, Designer of This Year’s Festival Poster
We are thrilled to announce that the stunning poster for this year's New York Polish Film Festival was designed by none other than Daniel Horowitz, a Paris-based artist renowned for his intricate exploration of memory, history, and personal narratives. Over the years, the festival has had the privilege of collaborating with many famous artists, each bringing their unique vision to our event. This year, Horowitz's contribution stands out as a testament to the profound connection between art and storytelling.
About Daniel Horowitz
Raised in New York City and Bovina, Daniel Horowitz has carved a unique niche in the art world with his multifaceted approach to creativity. His work delves deep into the realms of past traumas and memories, weaving them into complex, layered compositions that resonate on a personal and historical level.
Horowitz employs a diverse range of techniques, including painting, stitching, sewing, and cyanotype. This multidisciplinary approach allows him to integrate various sources and time registers into a cohesive narrative plane. His art is not just a labor of love but also an act of repair, transforming traditional painting into a dynamic and liberating experience.
One of Horowitz's notable projects, "Souvenirs Futurs," exemplifies his unique ability to blend found photographic images from the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris with hand-applied marks and cyanotypes. These elements, meticulously sewn and stitched together, symbolize the act of repair and the artist’s liberation from conventional painterly decisions.
Horowitz’s imagery often draws from childhood memories and archetypal metaphors, such as sailboats, summer pastimes, and photographs of forgotten princesses. These motifs evoke emotional responses and personal memories in the viewer, creating a deeply intimate and reflective experience.
His residency at Osmos Station, under the invitation of Cay Sophie Rabinowitz and Christian Rattemeyer, further showcases his dedication to exploring new artistic territories and pushing the boundaries of his craft.
Daniel Horowitz's work is a testament to the power of art as a medium for storytelling, healing, and connecting with our shared human experiences. His contributions to this year’s festival poster encapsulate the essence of the festival itself—rich, layered, and profoundly human.
We invite you to explore the thought-provoking creations of Daniel Horowitz and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of narratives he masterfully weaves together. For more about his works, visit Daniel Horowitz's official website.
