On Thursday, August 28 from 2 pm to 4 pm, The Aldrich invites you to delve into one of the imaginative processes utilized by exhibiting artist David Diao.
Mix pigments on cylinders made out of wood, PVC, or cardboard, experimenting with different amounts of paint. Roll, drag, and run the tubes across paper to create a textured gradient print.
David Diao: Front to Back brings together a selection of paintings that span the years 1971 to 2012, presenting a timeline of Diao's sustained dialogue with Modernism, as well as his relationship to the art world and the critical establishment. This is one of a series of solo presentations during The Aldrich's 2014–15 anniversary year that features artists whose work was included in historic Museum exhibitions. Larry Aldrich, the Museum's founder, purchased one of Diao's paintings in 1969 and his work was featured in Aldrich exhibitions in 1987, 1992 and 1996.
