Dimmitt Contemporary Art is pleased to present DIMENSIONS, a group exhibition featuring new works by artists Matthew Hawtin, Matthew Shlian and John Holt Smith. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 28, 2023 from 5:00 - 8:00pm. The exhibition will be on view through Friday, October 27, 2023.
Matthew Hawtin creates work that refines painting down to its essential properties of line and form. His “Torqued” series features layers of acrylic paint on irregularly shaped canvases that are a reflection of the range of daily emotions, thoughts and feelings. Matthew Shlian’s folded compositions are inspired by organic material and iterative patterns that invite the viewer to observe the contradiction of perfection in a hand produced object. Beginning with an initial fold, a single action causes a transfer of energy to subsequent folds, which ultimately manifest in drawing and three dimensional forms. John Holt Smith’s intricately layered lines shimmer and vibrate on their cool, flat support, creating palpable rhythm and depth throughout. The colors absorb and reflect light to produce a subtle glow that emanates from within, revealing the aesthetic and spiritual essence of both the structural components and the system they create. Together, these artists present a body of work that is based in unique artistic processes that project paint and paper into a dimensional realm.
