The Sydney born Painter Daniel O’Toole also known as ‘ears’ has been slowly but steadily creeping into the peripheral vision of the public, and recently has opened a gallery with Artists Max Berry and Jamie Nimmo called ‘Oh Really’. With a Background in graffiti and interest in fine art, Daniel served time at National Art School and has been exhibiting regularly since 2006.
Being from an artistic upbringing with a mother that sings jazz, plays piano and paints watercolour portraits, and a father that plays blues guitar, Daniel has always been encouraged to pursue his practice. The Style he is known for is a loose energetic portrait style that plays with the abstract and hints at realism, with influences like Francis bacon and Brett Whitely he remains diligently focused on the face and as his core subject.
