Description

Jack Dant is a St. Paul, Minnesota artist whose painting subjects range from landscape and still life to portrait and figures. He is drawn primarily to realism in the style of the American Impressionists; however his technique and style continue to evolve. Jack enjoys painting outside on location (plein air) as well as painting in his studio. He has studied Flemish techniques in still life and portrait with Jeff Hurinenko, and spent many years studying landscape painting with Joe Paquet, using direct painting methods and the prismatic palette. In addition to painting, Jack has been exploring the intaglio process (prints produced from etched copper plates), sculpture, and casting in bronze. He has developed a home casting studio where he completes all aspects of the sculpting and casting process. Jack is a Principal Product Engineer with Heraeus Medevio in Fridley, Minnesota where he develops medical devices for a variety of interventional procedures. Jack was born in Fort Dodge and enjoys many happy memories of childhood friends, Duncombe Elementary (the old one), and growing up on 8th Avenue. Having moved to Minnesota in 3rd grade (1974), the memories are fading, but still warm. Jack looks forward to reconnecting with some long-lost friends!
