I'm interested in using the "real world" as a material and a force
within my process. I like how these materials take some control
away from me, allowing for a more uncertain future and yet a more
finished piece. These materials come with a history, not one I
necessarily know, but a history for sure. There is an infinity in
"real-world objects" that, no matter how much I try, I couldn't
paint or sculpt into being. --Dan Colen This visually lush artist's
book, showing Dan Colen's Trash series, makes visible and palpable
how Colen's studio has learned to work with abject things and
materials by tapping into their individual histories and exposing
their latent energies. The fervid paintings readdress midcentury
painterly investigations of gravity and the flatbed picture plane,
but unlike Colen's predecessors' radical experiments, where the
composition of elements equals the sum total of the work, here the
spirited debris of the street becomes the means by which paint is
moved around on the canvas until they both (the tool and the
medium) come to rest. Thus each painting is an actual and still
potent record of real time and visceral experience, offering
unexpected moments of transcendence. All images are full-page size,
with accompanying details of the paintings.
