Preview: Dan Witz’s “Public and Confidential” at Wunderkammern

Dan Witz uses hyperrealism as a means of confrontation, tapping into the darker human impulses with imagery that is symbolic yet easily accessible. An early pioneer of street art, Witz uses his unconventional approach to spark philosophical dialogues about war, violence, privacy and power. The artist has a solo show titled "Public and Confidential" at Wunderkammern in Rome coming up on September 28, on view through November 16. Witz will travel to Italy for the occasion to do some pieces on the street the week leading up to the opening and collaborate on a video with Amnesty International. Take a look at our sneak peek of some of the works in the show after the jump.
