Art Hound

Dawn Black’s work at Curator’s Office via New American Paintings. The characters in Black’s work are set on stage, actors playing out strange, surrealist scenes culled from the artist’s imagination.

“I am particularly interested in the various permutations of societal practices that engender power hierarchies.  The religious and ethnic nuances of power — who are the meek, who are the shameless, and when do the roles interchange?  Societal practices of masquerade, uniforms, religious dress, etcetera muddle conceptions of power and identity…” – Artist’s statement
