Colorful surrealist lithograph of women and animals on a black background by artist Dan Allison, edition 11/11, dated 1976.

Allison first made his mark on the art world in the late 1970's with his instantly recognizable aquatint etchings, created through a revolutionary, one-plate, three-color printmaking process the artist pioneered and refined while attending Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas. The artist earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis on printmaking from the university in 1978. In 2000 Allison turned his attentions to first establishing a printmaking studio, Texas Collaborative Arts, with an emphisis on the collaborative aspects between printer and artist and in 2007 established the Nau-haus art venue where he presented more than 60 exhibitions between 2007 and 2011 before moving to his present location in Houston's Upper Kirby Gallery district on Gallery Row, where the d. m. allison gallery continues as a venue dedicated to the exploration of new and emerging talent, as well as established work by regional and nationaly recognized independent visual artists with ideals, direction, and conviction.
