Twenty years ago, the Oscar Award-winning film, “King Gimp,” leapt Towson University alumnus Dan Keplinger (BS'98 & '03/ MFA ’07), an artist with Cerebral Palsy, into the spotlight. In recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, TU, in partnership with Towson Town Center, mount an exhibition of his work. Keplinger uses head gear to make his art in various mediums. He does not use voice technology to speak, but by the subject of his daily life and the objects of his daily existence, Keplinger uses his art to send a powerful message.

Self I, 2/27/93, acrylic, 40 X 30 inches $5,000.00 SOLD I did this during my JR. year of high school and a lot of stuff was going down at home. Well at least, I put my teenage angst to good use. I always say this painting will be my flag for when I take over the world. This was the first piece that sold when I showed at the Phyllis Kind Gallery in NYC. Talk about pleasure and pain, of course I was joyful to sell my first paint! It was just like ripping my heart from my chest as in the Temple of Doom. Once again, I flopped myself on the floor and buried my head in my knees, in middle of the packed gallery. I did know it was going to a good home at an office for disability advocacy.
