James Kalm had been bumping into
Rodney Dickson in the Williamsburg Brooklyn art scene for years. But it
was only after an encounter at the SCOPE Art Fair in Miami in 2006 at
his installation "Queen Bee" (a recreation of a Vietnamese pick-up bar)
that your correspondent realized Rodney was also a serious painter.
After a gracious invitation, viewers are given a personal tour of the
Greenpoint painting studio of Dickson. Obsessively building up oil
paint, Dickson creates these works with an unflagging intensity and a
faith in paint itself. Sometimes weighing in at over one hundred pounds
these works become fetishized objects that transcend the normal
limitations of graphic images.
