poster for Lois Dodd "Landscape and Structures"

This event has ended.

For over fifty years Lois Dodd has painted her immediate everyday surrounds at the places she has chosen to live: New York’s Lower East Side, rural mid-coast Maine, and the Delaware Water Gap. Focusing on the latter two locations, this exhibition will present the motifs of structures in the landscape and structures within the landscape that she has returned to again and again over her career. The exhibition will be comprised of over forty-five mostly small-scaled oil paintings on wood or masonite panels. These portable panels are part of a spontaneous working method that enables Dodd to capture the atmosphere of a day or the mood of an evening—working beside a road, in a quarry, or on a neighbor’s property. Dodd presents her subjects with an unsentimental, no-nonsense directness grounded in observation, yet boldly simplified with the active, painterly marks and surfaces of early American and European modernism.
