PATRICK DUEGAW

Untameable Magic

January 29 - March 6, 2021
Picture
PATRICK DUEGAW - The Night Mare (or) Truth Will Out, 2020, 3-color lithograph on cotton paper, 21.25 x 16.25 in.

Duegaw's latest project explores the power of drawing, the creative process, and the epic myth of The Twelve Labours of Hercules. Five random marks made on a blank plate serve as a jumping-off point resulting in this series of abstracted figures: animal-human hybrids revealing themselves in a provocative tale of ignorance, manipulation and control, intolerance, hubris, greed; but also of justice and acceptance. Part cloud-busting, part Rorschach test, the employment of the childhood game of Five Lines has yielded fourteen images, each a small edition of lithographs, together representing the ancient mythical trials of the son of Zeus as seen through a contemporary lens.
