In this painting — with its swirl of blues, purples and rippling brush-strokes forming what appears to be a stylized chair — there’s a sense of memory, emptiness, or pause. The chair is present, yet the scene feels fluid, almost fleeting: time seems suspended somewhere between dusk and dawn. If this really is by Daniel Zimmerman, it would mark an interesting departure from his better-known work. Zimmerman is primarily recognized for his large-scale oil paintings that explore themes of growth, potential, desire and personal transformation — often through figurative portraits or lush, impressionistic botanical scenes.
Yet the visual language of this painting — the expressive, gestural strokes, the abstracted form of the chair, the ethereal, liminal atmosphere — suggests a more introspective mood. It reads less as a study of human presence or botanical exuberance (as Zimmerman often does), and more as a meditation on absence, memory, or quiet waiting. If the chair symbolizes a seat left empty, “Past Five” might evoke the time just after the workday — when someone has just stood up and walked off, leaving only the trace of their presence behind.
In that sense, “Past Five” could reflect a quieter, more personal side of Zimmerman’s artistic voice — one less concerned with energy and life, and more with what remains when people, time, or action recede.
