Sixteen Stages of Coffee Neurosis Zeichnungen von Daniel Boyer

Daniel C. Boyer has been active in the Surrealist Movement in the United States since 1992. He paints primarily in gouache (including gouache diluted with Coca-Cola and gouache combined with cinnamint breath drops, red wine stain remover and new car smell) on (in addition to paper) carbon paper, cardboard, papyrus, paper towel, photo paper, PVC, rubber and sandpaper, though he has used regular and glow-in-the-dark acrylic, fingerpaint, oil, stencil paint and watercolours. Boyer's drawings have been made in or with blood, iced caffè mocha, counterfeit detector pen, marker, invisible ink, lint remover, Listerine, pen and ink and pencil (conventional and mechanical); he is best known for his entopic graphomanias, drawings, made by a method invented by the Romanian surrealist Dolfi Trost, in which dots are made at the sites of impurities in a blank sheet of paper, and lines are then drawn between the dots.

A collagist, Boyer has made cubomanias (collages done using a method invented by the Romanian surrealist Gherashim Luca in which an image is cut into squares that are then reassembled automatically or at random) and prehensilhouttes (a collage method invented by Penelope Rosemont). He has also made depliages (depliage is a surrealist method invented by Sasha Vlad in which the staples are removed from a staple-bound magazine; the resulting, formerly more or less widely separated page making the "depliage") and works involving the movement of liquid down a vertical surface.

Boyer has made chocolate coulages (melted chocolate is poured into cold water).

He has also created digital artworks including Microsoft Powerpoint-based animations.

He is the author of "The Octopus Fets: political poems," for which he also did the frontespiece, the artist's book "The Tailgating Spinster," and the exclusively large-print book "What Snow Disrupts," for which he did the dust jacket.
