“We are excited to announce the opening of our upcoming exhibitions Anthony Cudahy: Spinneret, curated by Devon Zimmerman and organized by the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Maine and Ian Lewandowski: Mighty Real. We invite you to join us for the opening reception at our space in the Dallas Arts District on Saturday, October 5th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
The opening reception is free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments and valet services will be provided!
Anthony Cudahy: Spinneret draws inspiration from—and is named for—the silk-producing organ that spiders use to weave, or spin, their webs. Cudahy’s figurative paintings piece together enigmatic scenes of specific objects and equivocal environments from interwoven references drawn from Queer archives, art history, film, poetry, friends, and his own autobiography. His fluid application of paint and idiosyncratic palette—at moments sullen, earthen, corporeal and at others high-key, acidic, artificial—animates the ongoing push and pull between the real and surreal across his practice.
Through his art, Cudahy explores the hazy slippages of subjectivity in the digital age. The artist anchors his compositions to passages of gentle tenderness, absent-minded repose, or banal isolation; prosaic instances that often carry the greatest poetic weight. Within these moments, Cudahy contemplates love and friendship. His husband, the photographer Ian Lewandowski, frequently appears as the artist’s muse, found reading, sleeping, or entwined.”
