Lois Dodd "Fire"
Alexandre Gallery
This event has ended.
An exhibition of six recent large-scale paintings by Lois Dodd painted during the final years of the Bush Presidency. Each depicts the image of a rural house set fully ablaze. Bright orange, red and yellow flames with billowing smoke engulf a burning house that will soon be decimated. In two of the works a stream of water or a lone fireman seem ineffectual in reversing the devastation of the fire. Dodd’s unsentimental, no-nonsense directness grounded in observation is given an added poignancy with the subject of these paintings. This show marks Dodd’s sixth exhibition at the gallery.
