First recognized for his wood veneer paintings in the 1980s, New York-based artist Carroll Dunham (born 1949) has gone on to explore a diverse range of subjects that test the boundaries of representational imagery and abstraction. This volume serves as a comprehensive survey of Dunham's Bathers and Trees paintings from 2009-2012, and documents an exhibition at New York's Gladstone Gallery. Mixing organic forms with unusual geometries, Dunham's Trees paintings portray fallen or limbless trees in a style incorporating elements of Pop art, Surrealism and Expressionism. The pale, faceless and grotesque nudes of his Bathers series provide a contemporary context for the traditional bather motif.
