Philip Martin Gallery is pleased to present, "Hair into Gold and Back Again," an exhibition of new oil-on-canvas works by Los Angeles-based artist Tomory Dodge.
Tomory Dodge is known for his use of line, color, shape, pattern and expressive texture. In Tomory Dodge's works, we see patterned dots, scraped away paint and vivid areas that contrast with resonant, nuanced painterly space. His dynamic paintings explore representation and the mechanics of picture-making. Dodge's use of color highlights dynamic interactions and relationships between hues and creates an alluring draw for the viewer. Heavily process-based, the end goal is not to nail down a specific color but to create relationships and conversations between each color itself.
Tomory Dodge (b. 1974, Denver, CO) received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) and his MFA from California Institute of the Arts (Valencia, CA) in 2004.
