McCaig-Welles Gallery, New York
A Still Life. This body of recent work consists of paintings that continue the artist's experiments in portraiture and landscapes. The show reflects a departure of subject matter from his previous studies of primates. The work is expressionistic, thoughtful and often captures tension in still moments.
A Still Life
This body of recent work consists of paintings that
continue the artist's experiments in portraiture and
landscapes. "A Still Life" reflects a departure of
subject matter from his previous studies of
primates. Inspired by maritime iconography, the
subject matter consists of sea fishermen, adolescent
boys at play in the ocean, steel fishing vessels and
lighthouses. The work is expressionistic, thoughtful,
and often captures tension in still moments.
A classically trained painter, Joel Dugan has a
signature monochromatic palette and all works are
painted with oil on linen and finished with multiple
layers of varnish.
Joel Dugan was born in Des Moines, Iowa in 1977. He
studied painting and illustration at the Academy of
Art College in San Francisco. His work has been
included in numerous group exhibitions in the USA,
most recently at the Robert Miller Gallery in Chelsea
at a benefit art auction for a documentary project
about the American painter, Alice Neel. He has
exhibited at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los
Angeles, 111 Minna Street Gallery in San Francisco,
Fuse Gallery in NYC and has been featured in numerous
publications such as the "Heavy" art and music book
project by alife and Neverstop Publishing, the Genus
Vol. 1 book project, Dazed and Confused, NYLON and
