L.A. artist Roy Dowell gets to nature by way of culture:
The surfaces of Roy Dowell’s paintings are easy to get lost in. Two things account for that: the paint Dowell uses and what he does with it.
Sometimes, he paints thousands of tiny dots to form screen-like sections that let you see things while seeing through them. At other times, he paints over previous sections, leaving only their textures visible, like ghostly memories or buried histories. At still others, he paints the silhouettes of gears, pendants, goblets and other objects, not to give them volume and substance but to turn them into windows that open onto other spaces, other worlds, other realities.L.A.
Dowell gets to nature by way of culture. His works are inspired by textiles — their elaborately patterned fabrics and the stylized symbols printed on them taking powerful form in his casually handled images. Floral elements figure prominently, as do starbursts, pinwheels and checkerboards.Roy Dowell, “Untitled #1126,” 2019. Vinyl paint on linen, 48 by 60 inches.
