Author: Dawson, Verne
Engaging ancient knowledge systems as well as the history of direct painting, Alabama-born artist Verne Dawson depicts imagined futures & forgotten pasts. In billowing, gestural marks that evanesce into abstraction, the artist contends with subjects including the cyclicality of time, fairy tales & folklore, and the emergence and destruction of the natural world, ultimately revealing their interconnectedness. The selected paintings in this richly illustrated volume span from 1985 to 2024. Dawson’s paintings, Jennifer Krasinski writes, “call upon viewers to practice a quality of depth perception to see what other wisdoms are stowed inside of symbolic orders and archetypes, popular objects and classic genres—and to better apprehend all that is known of this world and those that spin alongside it.”
ISBN 9781961883239. Karma Books, New York. hb. 384 pages. 286 colour ills. 28 x 26.1 cm.
