Joan Danziger has been working in the DC area since 1968. In her largest exhibition to date, Danziger showcases her pioneering work in surrealist sculpture. Although originally an abstract painter, her arrival in DC precipitated her visualization of fictitious worlds and figures out of glass, wire, and clay. Visitors feel as if they have stepped into a dreamscape gallery full of people, animals, and critters that burst out of the space. | 10 Art Shows to See in DC This Spring Nick Cave links landscapes and race, Mary Cassatt in Paris, Joan Danzinger’s sculpted universe, America through the eyes of its artists, and more. https://hyperallergic.com/10-art-shows-to-see-in-dc-this-spring/

An animal's world.
Joan Danziger
"My sculptures combine an interplay of the animal strength and beauty of nature with the human spirit.
They are reaching into the heart of nature to evoke mysterious and secret worlds which draws upon my fascination with dream imagery and metamorphosis.
The use of animal imagery as metaphorical or psychological subject has great potency for me, it gives my sculptures a life of their own and creates a magical world."
"The wonderful thing about the fantastic is that the fantastic does not exist: everything is real" Andre Breton
