Danny Heller’s latest series examines life in West Coast mid-century suburbia and its ubiquitous aesthetics that continue to influence American residential design today. Heller turns our eyes to the simplicity and elegance of the enormously innovative designs of the 1950s and 60s. The paintings are remarkable in their depiction of the seemingly unremarkable.

Although devoid of human figures, these paintings are very much about the human experience. There is a sense of waiting spaces - chairs standing in for the residents outside the frame. They are about the day to day routines that are the bedrock of human existence. Their snapshot style is of catching a moment of quiet, a pause in the frenetic pace of modern life.
