Dim presents “Birthmarks” at Hopkins Art Center – June/July 2011

Dim Media is presenting “Birthmarks” at the Hopkins Art Center through the month of June. We’ll be unveiling the latest addition to the series : ten never before seen paintings as well as the original 10 pieces. Birthmarks will be displayed along with 5 amazing female potters. The opening is Thursday June 2nd, 6-8pm.

“Birthmarks” is Dim Media’s premier abstract series. Moving against
their popular stylized aethestic, here Dim ventures into the textures,
palletes, and patterns of naturally occurring, abstract imagery.

The process for creating “Birthmarks” was an aggressive
collaboration of all four Dim artists simultaneously working on
each painting over the period of a year. Each brush stroke brought
both alteration and integration from canvas to canvas, creating an
ambiguity between the individuals’ marks and the collective. This
procsess makes these works truly unqiue and impossible to recreate.
