In a new series of paintings, Carroll Dunham continues the exuberant evolution of his fedora-wearing, phallus-nosed character. Dunham displays his mastery over paint and composition to create two seemingly opposed trajectories in which more expressive and gestural uses of line and color clash with taut linearity and smooth bold graphics. Additionally, he reworks the canvases creating asymmetrical diptychs that command a near sculptural presence. Like monolithic totems of masochism and psychological surrender, Dunham’s continued investigations border on psycho-sexual cultural critique while remaining rigorous formal studies of media and composition.
