Denton McCabe is a visual artist from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Initially working in musical composition, McCabe began creating visual art in 2015 after seeing hundreds of famous paintings during a music business trip to Manhattan. McCabe learned art from creating master studies and copies and by creating a single daily work for the better part of four years. Since 2015, McCabe has created paintings, drawings, collages, and video; developing an abstract body of work that draws from inspirations found in the disciplines of cultural theory, computer science, and discrete mathematics. At this point, McCabe creates work for the simple enjoyment of the craft, freed from the burden of pursuing any specific genre or belonging to any one movement or group. In 2017, McCabe was an artist-in-residence at The Atlantic Center for the Arts, where he created video and sound art, as well as paintings and work on paper. He has shown his work throughout the Southwestern United States, and many cities, including Chicago, Brooklyn and Rome.
