About the Item

Framed colorful, figrative and gesteral acrylic painting on yupo paper. Piece is also available without frame. ARTIST STATEMENT My paintings explore relationships between partners, parents and children, friends, people and nature. Piles of bodies at work or play are bound up together; they support each other and crowd each other. Traditional ideas about femininity and motherhood are questioned as women in this work bounce back and forth between getting it done and becoming undone. Walls dissolve and interior objects mix with landscape, the kind of landscape one sees outside the car window while driving out of town down the interstate. Glazes, drips, sprays, veils, slashes and daubs build up things like pine trees, transformers, grass, stars, underpants, houseplants, bugs, dishes, fire hydrants, and bodies with too many hands, feet, knees and elbows. The scenes are in flux. An action sequence composed of multiple still images is condensed, out of the usual order of time, into one disjointed moment. I use anxious mark making and warped perspective to mirror a rushing world distorted by apprehension. These paintings underscore the inherent emotional conflict of parenting young children and the fragility of comfort and happiness in America today. BIOGRAPHY Dana Oldfather is a painter who has exhibited nationally in galleries and museums including Library Street Collective, Detroit, Zg Gallery, Chicago, Kathryn Markel Fine Art, New York, and The Butler Institute of American Art, and the McDonough Museum of Art in Youngstown. She was awarded the William and Dorothy Yeck Award for Young Painters, two Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards, and residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Zygote Press. Oldfather was twice featured in the New York Times and published in the book The Art of Spray by Lori Zimmer of Art Nerd New York. Oldfather’s work was recently exhibited at art fairs in Houston, Miami, Palm Beach, and New York, including Art on Paper. Her paintings are internationally collected privately and can be found in many public and corporate collections in the US including the Pizzuti Collection with The Joseph Editions, Eaton Corporation, MGM International, The Cleveland Cavaliers, The Cleveland Clinic, and the prestigious Progressive Art Collection. Dana Oldfather currently works and lives just outside Cleveland, Ohio with her husband Randall and young son Arlo.
