SUMMARY:Dana Gordon Signs of LIfe Paintings from 2023
DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge \nFeb 3- Feb 24\, 2024\nOpening Reception\nSunday Feb 3\, 2024 5pm – 7pm \nThe Westbeth Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of 25 paintings from 2023 by Dana Gordon. \nDana Gordon is an American abstract painter who began his art career working\nas assistant to Tony Smith and George Sugarman in the late 1960s in New York. He studied painting at Brown University and Hunter College\, and photography with Aaron Siskind in Chicago. He was a professor of art\, mainly in the 1970s\, and his avant-garde films have been featured at MoMA and internationally. \nGordon’s painting has been seen in fifteen solo shows and many group shows in New York\,\nChicago\, Paris\, and Boca Raton\, including at such galleries as Andre Zarre\, Charles Cowles\,\n55 Mercer\, and The Painting Center in Manhattan\, and Sideshow in Brooklyn. \nIn 1974\, after making three-dimensional and shaped canvases and other avant-garde\nexperiments for about nine years\, Gordon decided to “start over”\, to find his own language\nof art. He put a simple white chalk mark on a piece of black paper\, and let things develop\nfreely from there. The marks went not only toward strokes and their arrangements\, lines\,\noutlines\, and abstract or figurish shapes\, but inevitably toward proto-languages\, too. He\nretained the use of pure color so essential to abstraction. \nGordon’s recent paintings (and writings) energize a revitalized appreciation of abstraction\nand its connection with the old and the new. \nDana Gordon was one of the principal founders of The Painting Center in New York in\n1993. In the same year one of his paintings was reproduced as the front cover of the Paris\nReview (issue no. 129). \nGordon’s work is in many collections\, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art\, M.I.T.\,\nAdelphi University\, and the Royal Belgian Film Archive\, and of Edward Albee\, Virgil\nThomson\, Hilton Kramer\, and James Panero. \nHis art received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Fdn.\, Rauschenberg’s Change Fdn.\,\nand university research grants\, and residencies at the Edward Albee Fdn.\, the Triangle Workshop\,\nand the Millay Colony. In 1978 he was the “runner-up” for the NEA’s US/UK Bicentennial Exchange Fellowship. \nCritical acclaim for Gordon’s work has included the L.A.Times\, 1978: “… for purists and\npioneers in pursuit of new perceptions.” John Russell in the NY Times in 1987 “…well\nworth seeking out…a painter of whom it would be good to see more.” Helen Harrison\, NY\nTimes\, 1994: “…beautiful paintings\, filled with the controlled exuberance of a carefully\norchestrated spectacle.”\nGrace Glueck\, NY Times\, 1997: “… a very lively eyefest.” James\nPanero\, in the New Criterion\, 2014: “While many artists paint widely\, Gordon paints\ndeeply…. Gordon knows ‘what only painting can do.’ ” David Cohen\, of Art Critical\, on\nGordon’s 2018 Paris show “Lucky Paris.” \nGordon has written about art for The Wall Street Journal\, The New Criterion\, The New\nYork Sun\, Commentary\, Delicious Line\, The Jerusalem Post\, and Painters’ Table.\nGordon says: “To paint I get into a frame of mind where I can bring everything to bear\,\nfocused on the moment of painting. A given subject is too limiting; painting’s potency is\ncomprehensive and open-ended and develops its own subject\, if allowed to. Abstract\nform underlies all visual art; form’s content expresses intellect and feeling. Painting is as\nalive as ever: after millenia why would our little era not have it\, it’s a sign of life. All art\nis now; in art there are no “other” cultures. My painting does not subvert\, it upholds art\nand reaches for beauty.” \nNext to the Hudson River\, in Manhattan’s West Village\, The Westbeth Gallery is an\nindependently curated gallery run by artists living in Westbeth\, a historic artist residence\nin a building converted in 1970 from the Bell Telephone Laboratories and on the National\nRegister of Historic Places.Westbeth also houses The New School for Drama\, and The Kitchen. \nHome Page image: Sea of Possibility (detail) oil on canvas 64 x 72 inches 2023 \nMore info: danagordon.art\n1danagordon@gmail.com\nInfo: westbethgallery@gmail.com
