As viewers it’s really hard to tell what Dan Dunn is making until he’s completely finished. Usually he’ll flip his canvas around or turn it on its side and all of a sudden it comes to life, as this beautiful piece of art work. For me, Dunn combines two of my favorite artistic mediums: paint and music. His style is new, which makes it exciting. He not only paints with music, but he paints to music, which is something that hasn’t been done with his level of success before. The speed of his strokes parallel the beat of the song and when a long note is held, he paints a longer line on the canvas. Because he creates his pieces so quickly, and in front of an audience, there’s this sense on interaction, which adds to the “awe factor” the audience feels when watching him. They saw him start his painting and watched him finish it, all the while listening to this narrative that the music provides. Although Dunn uses no advanced form of technology and what he’s doing isn’t very remarkable, it’s unique and original, making his performances worth watching.
