Author: Dickson, Jane
Chicago–born, New York–based artist Jane Dickson makes paintings and drawings that explore the psychogeography of American culture. She participated in legendary artist collectives such as Fashion Moda, Collaborative Projects Inc. and Group Material. This first comprehensive monograph of her work includes a 1996 essay-cum-manifesto by Dickson, and new essays by Shannon Mattern, Daniel S. Palmer, Lucy Sante and Yasmin Ramirez.Working figuratively from her own photographic snapshots, Dickson portrays strip clubs, diners, motels and sex workers and their seemingly straight-laced foils: suburban homes, driveways and businessmen. Using oils and acrylic on canvas and linen alongside a range of atypical surfaces such as vinyl, felt, astroturf and sandpaper, she achieves impressionistic textures that often blur her subjects in hazes of neon and darkness.
ISBN 9781961883154. Karma Books, New York. hb. 416 pages. 410 colour ills. 27.9 x 26 cm.
