Dan Kitchener, who also signs his walls as DANK, is a street artist and mural painter from Essex, England. Born in 1974, he trained in illustration and animation, spending early career years crafting television motion graphics where he studied lighting, composition and cinematic pacing. That background now fuels an instantly recognisable style he calls modern impressionist: rain soaked neon cityscapes rendered entirely freehand with spray cans, no stencils, grids or projectors ever used. Photographs taken on late night walks through Tokyo, New York or London provide reference, then layers of saturated colour, blurred edges and electric highlights are built straight onto brick or canvas until the surface pulses like living circuitry. Energy is central; Kitchener runs daily marathons and paints to techno tracks, completing giant murals in days rather than weeks, a pace that keeps strokes loose and emotional. Commissions have come from Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz and Miley Cyrus, while public works rise across Europe, Asia and the United States, including the landmark Tokyo Rain piece at Berlin’s Teufelsberg. Solo gallery shows such as Tokyo Rain in Wynwood extend the practice indoors, tracing journeys from snapshot to sketch to painted final, yet the aim remains the same: translate the rush, solitude and strange beauty of urban night into paint so viewers can step inside a fleeting moment and feel raindrops that were never really there.
