Laddie John Dill Wall Decorations

American, b. 1943

Laddie John Dill was born in Long Beach, California, in 1943. He graduated from the Chouinard Art Institute in 1968 with a BFA. After graduating, Dill became a printing apprentice and worked closely with established artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns.

A Los Angeles artist, Dill had his first solo exhibition in New York City with Sonnabend Gallery in 1971. He was one of the first Los Angeles artists to exhibit Light and Space work in New York. He exhibited the “Light Sentences” and “Light Plains” sculptures in institutions across the United States and globally, and has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in these pieces in the last decade as well, including an acquisition of a “Light Plains” sculpture by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It is currently on view in the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

Dill has been crafting light and earthly materials like concrete, glass, sand, and metal into luminous sculptures, wall pieces, and installations since the 1970s. Referring to his choice of materials, Dill explains: “I was influenced by (Robert) Rauschenberg, Keith Sonnier, Robert Smithson, Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Irwin, who were working with earth materials, light and space as an alternative to easel painting.” When Dill does use canvas, he paints with pigments derived from cement and natural oxides.

Dill’s works are in the permanent collections of national and international institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; the Museum of Contemporary Art, California; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; the High Museum, Atlanta; and elsewhere. He currently lives and works in Venice, California, where he maintains a studio.

Laddie John Dill, A Sculptural Construction in Cement, Glass and Natural Oxides

By Laddie John Dill

Located in Peabody, MA

A sculptural construction in cement, glass and natural oxides by the important Los Angeles sculptor and artist Laddie John Dill, ca. 1970s. Dill was a founding member of the fascinating “Light and Space” movement, which was related to op art, minimalism and geometric abstraction, but originating in Southern California in the 1960s. The term "Light and Space" derives from a 1971 exhibition at the UCLA University Art Gallery, titled Transparency, Reflection, Light, Space. It reflected the uniquely West Coast ideals of sun, cars, surf, and sand and these young artists eagerly experimented with many of the latest technologies developed for the Southern California based aviation engineering and aerospace industries. Their work was recognizable for a hard edged brutalist aesthetic which incorporated geometric themes in glass, neon, fluorescent tubes, poured resins and cast acrylic as common materials. Dill was a close friend of the artist Robert Rauschenberg and the two staged a joint exhibition in 1970 titled “The Light Show”. Rauschenberg arranged a solo show for the younger artist at the famed Ileana Sonnabend Gallery in New York, making Dill the first Light and Space artist...
