About the Item
In NO MAN, NO ISLAND, Samuel Dunson repurposes an older, unfinished painting to make a statement about the personal and political processes of reconstruction. Discovering again a self-portrait which sat in his studio for years, he finishes this painting of himself portrayed with his eyes closed, with fantastically colored flowers and shapes filling the frame, surrounding his face. Meanwhile, a third eye, its vision expanding in stripped-down flowers of light, is open in the middle of his forehead, helping to remind the viewer of the movement of things, that with an introspective mind one’s art and soul can connect to all things
NO MAN, NO ISLAND is a work of acrylic and oil on canvas.
NO MAN, NO ISLAND was included in Samuel Dunson’s September 2022 solo show at Channel to Channel.
