Rodney Dickson, Untitled, 2009, 94 x 60 inches, oil on canvas
Rodney Dickson was born in Northern Ireland, and now lives and works in Brooklyn. His massive paintings are accumulations of multiple encounters between the painter and his materials -- repainting the whole surface with each new approach. Some paintings are completed over the course of a year, others more quickly. All are invested with an existential intensity and a material directness that goes to the heart of painting's potency and its ancient origins. Added bonus -- they smell great for decades.
