C. Dimitri
Greta the Great, abstract painting on panel, text, iconography,

2019

About the Item

Oil, ink, graphite, wood stain, glitter, resin on masonite panel Dimitri operates from the idea of the “unfinished.” It informs his choice of materials and the way he handles them. It informs the imagery. The unfinished is his first instinct of painting. There are social-political implications: Democracy is an unfinished project. Enlightenment values are in jeopardy. The biosphere is unraveling. But art has big-picture messages for us. Dimitri has received fellowships in painting from the Vermont Studio Center and the RI State Council on the Arts. A staff illustrator for The Rumpus and a cartoonist for Entropy magazine, Dimitri has also contributed drawings to the Kenyon Review, Bomb Magazine, and the streets of Providence, RI. His book "Moglie & the New Planet" was a finalist in the 2018 Fence Prize for Children's Fiction. Two of his climate change graph paintings are in the Boston Public Library collection.

  • "Man Overboard", oil painting, figurative, man, woman, bikini, recline, gaze
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "Man Overboard" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a woman wearing part of her bikini stretches out beside a pool or body of water, while another figure hovers nearby. The title Man Overboard would suggest the woman's pose and partial nudity have completely derailed the man's intentions – perhaps driven him to distraction. Note the restrained color palette, the subtle toning of the wood surface, the bodies rendered and bodies suggested. The surface is very interesting – drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes to be sure, but also the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...
