1. Untitled 2. Infinite Maharishi (After Yayoi Kusama)
In his work, Chicago-based artist Dzine likes the tackality of painting and sculpture. With the glut of imagery in the world from various media he chooses images from his own life as a way to organize the formal elements of his work.
For Dzine, the concept of a Post-Conceptual hyperrealism frees himfrom the constraints and the limits of painting and sculptural techniques. In Dzine’s works, his actions restore the processes of conventional painting and sculpturewhile emptying its stereotypical art world concepts.
Dzine’s carefully arranged art works are situated between classical painting and advertising, between the found object and hand crafted, between the avant-garde and mass-culture. They exude fragility, but they are pastiche.
With this timeless group of works, Dzine prefers to produce his larger than life narratives using just one style. By using hyperrealism, he creates a poetic attraction and alienation between the work and the viewer. This poetic emotion is what creates the tie between the subjects of his paintings and sculptures to his own stance in relation to them.
