Jane Dickson: Are We There Yet?
For the artists first solo exhibit in LA in over 25 years, Jane Dickson: Are We There Yet? surveys a group of highway paintings the artist began in 1999. Inspired by the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, where Dickson spent six months teaching in the same year the series began, the artist was last seen on the West Coast for her 2001 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. The works in Are We There Yet?—oil-on-linen studies and larger paintings made on Astroturf, one of the nontraditional supports Dickson uses to add texture to her compositions—reveal another facet of the New York-based artist’s oeuvre of psycho-social portraits of America.
