BRIAN DICKERSON | Constructed Paintings & Drawings is a solo exhibition of recent artworks by Brian Dickerson opening at Garrison Art Center, 23 Garrison’s Landing, Garrison, NY 10524 on Saturday, November 2, 2024 from 5:00 – 7:00pm.
Dickerson’s paintings are structured from aggregated surfaces, rich with energetic brushwork enveloping built-in elements. The raised edges act as bridges, buttresses and apertures that at once tip and balance as their silhouettes continuously change with the ambient light. Lengthening and shortening shadows invite meditation as the viewer dwells in the crevasses only to emerge again and travel nimbly between narrow ledges and mysterious angles. Though the paintings invite intimacy, Dickerson also leads a visual journey as vast as deserts as he engages with eternal questions of space and being.
Brian Dickerson has had numerous solo exhibitions both internationally at Ballinglen Arts Foundation,(Ballycastle, Ireland) and nationally at Kouros Gallery and OK Harris (NYC, NY), Institute of Man and Science (Rensselaerville, NY), Bill Lowe Gallery (Atlanta, GA), Benjamin Mangel Gallery, Seraphin Gallery and Hahn Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), The Grosvenor Art Gallery (S.U.N.Y.
