Opening Reception Thursday 24 May, 5:30-7:30pm

The multilayered concepts observed in Dunne’s work are carefully constructed, in parallel to the fictitious otherworld he develops. Dunne examines the tradition of the romantic landscape, and uses it as a means to depict an unknown, fantasy terrain. In stark contrast to the sublime qualities of his paintings, the underlying message explores the violation of nature, and the resulting catastrophic consequences for ecology and humanity.
