"BRIAN DICKERSON | Constructed Paintings & Drawings" is a solo exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by Brian Dickerson at Lightforms Art Center in Hudson, NY opening July 15 and running through August 6, 2023. Dickerson's paintings are structured from aggregated surfaces, rich with energetic brushwork, that envelope 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 to 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.
