Dion Zwirner's important new body of work on paper continues the artist's investigation of the space between representation and abstraction. Landscape is still the source of inspiration. A new bolder color palette overlays passages of elegant, restrained drawing. The artist confounds the traditional devices for suggesting depth of field by alternately allowing and then denying the viewer access to the spaces she explores. Overall the connection to landscape is discernible but not labored. "By fracturing volumes, reality and fragmenting space I hope to separate natural elements from their remembered surroundings allowing once again for intuition to replace logic. I want to stay at the threshold of the visible - still seeking a negotiation between chance and calculation."
