TOMORY DODGE

Tomory Dodge is interested in what happens when painterly and representational concerns collide. His paintings are formed by a mass of bold and fluid gestures, often thickly laid on in precise dashes or squeezed out directly from the paint tube. These marks have a sense of economy and intention independent of the images they constitute. Where Dodge's early expressionistic canvasses featured vacant arid landscapes, often hinting of human existence somewhere within the un-inhabitable climate, the artistís more recent works explores more fully the possibilities of abstraction in fields of limitless space.
