Danielle Gadus

Danielle Gadus (b. 1998, Chicago, IL) currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. A current MFA candidate at Pratt Institute with an expected graduation in Spring 2025. Her work reflects an exploration of sensuality and somatic modes of perception. Relying primarily on silk as a medium, the work engages transdisciplinary processes including spatial installation, gestures of performance, and lens based realizations. Embodying fluidity and movement through an array of methods and forms, ephemerality and constant change are a throughline in her practice. Her work has recently been included in exhibitions locally and internationally including Tarble Arts Center; Pulse Gallery; La Mecha Contemporary among others. In addition, she has participated in an array of artist-led collaborative exhibitions and happenings across New York City and Brooklyn. Danielle regularly hosts and curates salon style exhibitions, art focused dinners and talks in her studio apartment in addition to contributing to a monthly column for Envy Magazine highlighting artists that exemplify practices of supporting and fostering their local communities.
