Biography

"My work is all about colour, depth, texture and emotion. I want my paintings to breathe, I want them to dance, I want them to shout out loud.

I use various paints and materials to create the depth texture and colour. I use aerosol spray, and I use varnishes and dyes, gloss, acrylics and lots of water.

I paint to music, always. Mainly rock and roll.

The combination of music, coffee and solitude enables me to convert the energy into my work.

I enjoy the process as much as the result, I don't follow any rules.

Just my own...Enjoy..."

Danny Cawley is a born and bred Mancunian abstract artist. He lives and paints in central Manchester and sells his work to everyone from rock and roll stars to footballers and priests.

Simon Jones out of the band The Verve was the first of many musicians to invest in Danny's work. Other stars include Badly Drawn Boy, Mark Collins and Jonny Brookes of the Charlatans. Another of Danny's famous clients is Andy Morrison who captained Manchester City in 1998.

Having been a graffiti artist in Manchester in the 1980's, Danny incorporates the aerosol technique into his work. The use of these various methods result in a mesmerising and purely original style of art.

"As a kid I loved graffiti art and was in one of the first gangs to spray pieces on walls in Manchester. As I got older I got into psychedelic music, I loved the visual side, which again, involved the use of colours.

Having sold over 200 paintings in 3 years, Danny's work is an obvious investment as his value is already going up.

Lean back...relax and feast your eyes on his amazing paintings.
