About
Description
Daniel Dove’s large-scale oil paintings are visually striking and formally daring. The American artist examines the peculiarities of place and the idiosyncrasies of the modern American landscape.
Review
The aura of Daniel Dove's deftly handled paintings is one of Industrial Age decay, resonating with a strange mix of melancholia and manufacture.
"Autopsy" is based on the forensic reconstruction of a crashed plane, but Dove has inserted jagged, cartoon-like gray shapes to signify the brutal blast, and they cast shadows on the floor and the fuselage. This bizarre yet clever painterly trick snaps attention back from what the painting represents to what any painting is: a fiction.
Destruction is balanced with construction, and the precariousness is aesthetically riveting. (Read the full review of this solo exhibition.)
