Montpelier Arts Space presents Interference, a solo exhibit of paintings and sculptures by Maryland based artist Brian Michael Dunn. Interference pairs two distinct series in the artist’s practice that explore the imprint of mechanical and systems-based technology on our daily lived experiences and understandings. In a suite of new large-scale paintings, layered and interwoven patterns and modular forms both articulate and obscure surrounding strata of visual information. Each picture bears an intricate collection of signs, patterns and symbols from the natural world, balanced at the tipping point of legibility. In the face of endless streams of news and information, the paintings describe a layering of complexities veering toward saturation.
