About the Item

A common thread connecting the separate but related groups of paintings and constructions is my obsession with the spatial and temporal disjunctions that we are experiencing in our rapidly changing world. To that end, I deploy what I describe as diagrammatic metaphors that visualize ongoing processes of movement and transformation. One of those groups is the Toppling series where I present visual analogs of the profound disequilibrium we are currently experiencing both privately and institutionally. All that we assumed to be stable and predictable has been revealed to be otherwise. I liken each artwork to a freeze-frame of a film sequence at the precise inflection point when a building, a body, a psyche, or a society begins to succumb to gravity. The Dys/Junctures series extends my long running fascination with discontinuities, disruptions, and detours. These hybrid paintings/constructions are composed of multiple and decidedly skewed and misaligned panels made of MDF board, Plexiglass or a combination of both. Also, the Never the Same Space Twice series addresses discontinuities, disruptions, and detours by way of an abstract geometric visual language that call to mind hybrid topological route maps and flow charts. The Jump Cut series, borrowing from a cinematic term, offers an apt correlative to the kinds of spatial/temporal disjunctions we often experience in our hyper networked and accelerated lifeworld. Deploying a geometric syntax of nested and overlapping frames, I am interested in how these disrupted sequences evoke a sense of space/time that is highly elastic and ambiguous.

Deborah Dancy "Believe it or Not" - Abstract Oil Painting on Canvas
By Deborah Dancy
Located in New York, NY
Deborah Dancy Believe it or Not, 2021 oil on canvas 32 x 34 in. (dan029) This original contemporary abstract painting by Deborah Dancy is comprised of hues of light pink, lime green, grey, and maroon in her signature built up/re-built space that as she says, "operate in a realm in which beauty and tension simultaneously exist without explanation or narrative." Deborah Dancy is an abstract artist. Her paintings and drawings are sensuous provocations beset with marks that guide, then abruptly collide into confrontational slabs of color. There is an atmosphere of complex but urgent tension in her work, as she builds tangential linear demarcations, and abutting shapes, that provoke, entice and disrupt; -taking us everywhere and nowhere. From densely painted forms to more minimally declared images, Dancy’s work operates in the recognition that meanderings, intentional and accidental declarations are best when the beautiful and the disconcerting exist simultaneously. Dancy was born in Bessemer, Alabama and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She earned BFA from Illinois Wesleyan University and an MS and an MFA from Illinois State University. She is the recipient of John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a Yaddo Fellow, and a National Endowment of the Arts NEFA award. Her work is in many collections including The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Birmingham Museum of Art, The Hunter Museum and The Detroit Institute of Art.
