About the Item

Dana DeKalb’s Detour (2025) is a 12 x 12 in. acrylic on canvas that highlights the artist’s unique approach to contemporary figurative painting. Known for her narrative art infused with surrealism, DeKalb captures a young man suspended mid-step across shimmering water, as a life preserver drifts below. The scene balances whimsy and tension, suggesting both play and vulnerability. With luminous color, precise detail, and psychological nuance, Detour reflects DeKalb’s ongoing exploration of dreamlike imagery that transforms ordinary moments into symbolic, thought-provoking stories.
