“I used to make long speeches to you after you left. I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone. I walked around for months talking to you. Now I don’t know what to say. It was easier when I just imagined you.”

Paris, Texas (1984) dir. Wim Wenders

Mike Swaney, Efecto Dubuffet

December 20 - Jan 20, 2013

In his new exhibition, Efecto Dubuffet, Mike Swaney makes a temporary departure from collage and mixed media works to explore painting. Working from the imagination, as opposed to using photographic references, Swaney channels the work of Jean Dubuffett, Art Brut, Outsider Art, and Internet Art, as he reflects on the historic impact of African Art on Picasso and Matisse. This new period in Swaney’s artistic practice is mirrored in a renewed interest in the idea of expression and outsider art among young contemporary artists. The new works strive to “mediate between perceived reality and the creativity of the human mind—to be freed, or ‘exorcised’, from fear of the unknown by giving form to it.”
