Born, raised, and still living in the Bronx, Daniel Hauben’s lifelong artistic focus has been the urban landscape. For nearly 30 years he has been painting on location along streets, in parks, from windows and rooftops of the city. Hauben received a degree in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York and is an eight-time recipient of the BRIO Excellence in the Arts Award from the Bronx Council on the Arts. In 2012 he was selected to receive the Poe Award for Artistic Excellence from The Bronx County Historical Society. He has been awarded artistic residencies in Spain, Germany, Costa Rica, Virginia, Connecticut and California, and has had over thirty national and international solo exhibitions, including at the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the American Embassy in Berlin. His public art project “The EL”, commissioned by the New York MTA’s Arts for Transit program, was acknowledged in 2008 as one of 40 notable works of public art nationwide by Americans for the Arts. In 2012, Hauben completed a portrait of The Bronx in twenty-two paintings commissioned for the new library on the campus of Bronx Community College. These paintings are now on permanent display and open to the public. His work can also be seen in corporate and public collections including at the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Historical Society, the Library of Congress, the White House, Harvard University, the New York Public Library and the Zimmerli Art Museum of Rutgers University. While best known for his oil paintings of the Bronx, Mr. Hauben is also an accomplished pastel artist and painter of the natural landscape. He has taught at the Pastel Society of America, the Art Students League and the CUNY Graduate Center, and currently teaches drawing at CCNY Spitzer School of Architecture.
