Carroll Dunham Exhibition
Gladstone Gallery (Chelsea 24th Street)
This event has ended.
Since the late seventies, Dunham’s conceptual approach to painting has volleyed between abstraction and figuration utilizing everything from the knotted surface of wood panels to libidinous psychic manifestations to structure his compositions. As Kate Linker wrote in her essay accompanying the catalogue from a recent exhibition of Dunham’s work: “Because [his paintings] are equally inspired by Aztec and Mayan art, recent American art, pornography, and cartoons (to cite only a few sources), these pictographs indicate the long arc of Dunham’s imagination and the latitude of his visual reading habits, which range from high to low, rarified to vernacular, artistic ‘literature’ to esthetic pulp fiction.”
