Carroll Dunham
Building on the traditions of early American Modernism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, Carroll Dunham has added the varied influences of Mayan art, color-field painting, and pop culture to his work. Using caricature, graphic flair, and eye-popping colors, Dunham’s characters engage in a slapstick war of the sexes.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
