David Dunlop Solo Show Light Fantastic At Powell Gallery
David Dunlop’s solo show Light Fantastic, featuring 27 new works, opens Friday, May 10, at Susan Powell Fine Art, 679 Boston Post Road, Madison, with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. David Dunlop will be present, and all are invited to the free event.
The Powell Gallery describes Dunlop as a master of luminosity. “His use of multi-layered translucent glazes, reflective metal surfaces, and bright underpainting result in paintings that appear to possess their own inner light,” the gallery wrote in a prepared release. “He paints on copper, galvanized steel, and brushed gold and silver laminated aluminum, which give his work the radiance of Dutch and Italian Renaissance paintings. Historically, artists have quested for luminance, and like Dunlop, wanted their works to glow in their settings, whether it be daylight or candlelight.”
Dunlop is also known for his PBS series, Landscapes Through Time, with David Dunlop. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sat, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment. For more information, call 203-318-0616 or email susanpowellfineart@gmail.com.
