Dexter Dalwood Opening Wednesday 20 May, 2009 17.00 - 20.00 20/05/09 - 27/06/09 David Risley Gallery is delighted to announce a solo show by the British artist Dexter Dalwood. The show has been selected to provide an overview of his working practice. This exhibition has been curated to the specific context of Copenhagen with recent events in mind. Dalwood begins by making small collages, often comprising elements of other artists work. Small painted studies are produced from these collages, which together form the basis for the large canvasses. The show will consist of 3 paintings and 5 collages. The collages, some of which are loaned from the artists personal collection, are rarely exhibited and give the viewer an insight into his working method. Dalwoodʼs imagined versions of historically potent locales are pulled together from his knowledge of art and pop cultural history. Altamont is based on the infamous events during the free rock festival organised by the Rolling Stones in 1969, often regarded as the symbolic death of the 1960ʼs and hippy idealism. This theme runs throughout the show. Dalwood is a painter who first came to prominence in the late 1990ʼs in London, where he has participated in major shows at ICA, Gagosian Gallery, Saatchi Gallery and TATE. Dexter Dalwood is represented by Gagosian Gallery, and has an upcoming solo exhibition at their Los Angeles gallery in the Autumn of 2009. A mid career retrospective of his work will also be shown at Tate, St Ives in 2010 Dexter Dalwood �bning Onsdag 20 Maj, 2009 17.00 � 20.00 20/05/09 - 27/06/09 David Risley Gallery kan med stor gl�de pr�sentere en soloudstilling af den engelske kunstner Dexter Dalwood. Udstillingens v�rker er udvalgt til at give et indblik i hans arbejdspraksis. Udstillingen er blevet kurateret til den specifikke kontekst, som er K�benhavn, med tanke p� nylige begivenheder. Dalwood begynder med at lave sm� collager, der ofte udg�res af dele af andre kunstneres arbejder. P� baggrund af collagerne males sm� studier, der sammen med collagerne danner grundlaget for de store malerier. Udstillingen vil best� af 3 malerier og fem collager. Collagerne - nogle af dem udl�nt fra kunstnerens private samling - bliver sj�ldent udstillet og giver beskueren et indblik i Dalwoods arbejdsmetode. Dalwoods fremstillinger af steder med s�rlig historisk v�gt er sammenstykket af hans viden om kunst og popkulturhistorie. Altamont er baseret p� de begivenheder, der fandt sted p� rockfestivalen som the Rolling Stones organiserede i 1969. Festivalen ses ofte som 1960erne og hippieidealismens symbolske d�d. Dette er et gennemg�ende tema i udstillingen. Dalwood kom frem sidst i 1990erne i London og har v�ret med i store udstillinger p� ICA, Gagosian Gallery, Saatchi Gallery og TATE. Dexter Dalwood er repr�senteret af Gagosian Gallery og har en kommende soloudstilling p� deres galleri i Los Angeles i efter�ret 2009. En �midtkarriere� retrospektiv af hans arbejde vil desuden blive vist p� Tate, St. Ives i 2010. |
