About the Work
Jane Dickson can recall the days when Times Square used to get dark at 11PM. Her work often reflects that atmospheric American nostalgia - painting night scenes of casinos, peep shows, carnivals, and open country roads. Part of the politically charged 1980s art scene, Dickson has worked alongside artists David Wojnarowicz, Keith Haring, and Jenny Holzer, playfully experimenting with unusual painting surfaces such as Astroturf, sandpaper, vinyl, or carpet. In this image, Dickson halts the setting sun over a partially-empty parking lot, depicting a common feature of American life and its inhabitants in the vein of Edward Hopper. She describes being transfixed by the jumbled scene of palm trees and houses amongst oil derricks, freeways, and malls while in Long Beach. Originally painted on textured felt, the rich orange-pink desert hues of the sky contrast with the dark world beneath it.
Artist Biography
In 1993, Jane Dickson transformed Manhattan’s Historic West 42nd Street into a dynamic, round-the-clock public art exhibition with the public art organization Creative Time. Fifteen years later, she revisited the site with a colorful mosaic series featuring life-size party revelers along the walls of the subway station. Celebrated for her rich and atmospheric paintings, Dickson has had solo exhibitions at The Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Marlborough Gallery (New York). Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Metro Pictures (New York), James Fuentes Gallery (New York), and the Omi International Art Center (Ghent, NY). Dickson is a 2013 recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award for Painting and Sculpture, and her work on permanent display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
