About the Artist
Larry was born in The Bronx, New York in 1940.
Destined for a life as an artist, this native New Yorker eventually
spent much of his professional career balancing his intellectual
curiosity and his passion for design. Larry received his Bachelor of
Architecture from The Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture
and his Master of Architecture from MIT on a Compton Fellowship.
He capped off his architectural career as a founding partner of
what would turn out to be a major architectural firm, Lawrence
Gordon Architects. In addition, Larry was an adjunct Associate
Professor at New York Institute of Technology and a visiting critic at
City University. With all of this said, his love of painting dates back to
his attendance at Music & Art High School in NYC and the Art
Students League of New York.

In 2000, Ken Daniels was accepted to art school in New York City. He moved across the country from a small town in Texas. Everything was going great – until, as he puts it "two big buildings fell on me, and the city locked down. Excitement and hope were usurped by loneliness and fear…Although I didn’t know it then, becoming a forced participant in the 9/11 tragedy made me lose my way."
Through a mindful exploration of care and tremendous effort, Ken completed NYU Film School in 2004. Since then, he has gravitated toward work at the intersection of art and technology.
Ken's professional career began to develop from working on tech for film, to selling tech to production companies, to eventually to starting his own company where he used his knowledge of cutting-edge technology to create and design smart systems for homes and professional spaces. The future was bright until he faced another hurdle. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Ken was alone again. The pandemic triggered his 9/11 PTSD. The fear, the immense loss, and the anger all returned, but this time scaled up globally.
It was then that he discovered that focusing on his art would be the catalyst to healing. These works represent him finding his way again. He uses technologies born from war to create. He uses LiDAR and photogrammetry to heal. He uses architecture as a common language to start a conversation.
Ken says: "Through my art, I see the future again."
