Size & Details

Size & Details

Mixed media silhouette artwork of a longhorn, adorned with a jackrabbit, sunrise and western flora in a symmetrical pattern, inspired by Southern style icon Nudie Cohn, originator of the Rhinestone Cowboy. “Nudie Suits”, worn by icons like Elvis Presley and Hank Williams, featured lush hand-embroidery and embellishment. Dolan captured this ornate style with intricate, mirrored patterns cut from a white foreground to reveal a colorful background of salvaged materials. A unique, folksy take on assemblage artwork. Invite this classic Dolan Geiman style into your home for a pop of color and a dash of dimensionality.

Process

Process

Folk art is in Dolan’s genes. Assembling disparate objects in unexpected ways to evoke the spirit of back-home comes naturally, and in this revisiting of a vintage DG series, Dolan invites a touch of country into these rustic-meets-modern works. Dolan is constantly amassing and adding to his robust collection of ephemera, sourced from abandoned spaces across the country. To create these large-scale mixed media works, Dolan dug to the bottoms of his materials bins (sorted by color, of course) to find complementary flat objects to fit neatly into his handmade silhouette frames. The symmetrical patterns were hand-drawn onto a back-framed pine box and cut out with a skill saw, sanded, painted and overlaid on the assortment of found materials. The result is a dimensional shadow box, reminiscent of an inkblot painting, offering the viewer a slightly different viewing experience when their vantage point is adjusted even just slightly.
