| Summary: | "Over the course of five decades, Dunham has engaged in wide-ranging formal and thematic experimentation across various media, yet his drawings represent a distinct, interconnected body of work. Dunham's mature artistic career began in 1970s New York amid a scene dominated by Minimalist aesthetics. Using simple elements such as line, shape, and color, he made a tremendous impact with work that nevertheless signaled a return to subject matter. In the intervening decades, Dunham has continued to produce drawings that test, and ultimately collapse, the porous boundaries between abstraction and figuration: bodies shapeshift into buildings, trees pose like models, the cellular resembles the cosmic, and internal organs or private parts are made very public."-- |
