DEAN PROJECT proudly opens its 2010 Fall Season with a new gallery in Chelsea and opens the space to the public with a solo exhibition by NY-based painter Bryan Drury.
“Recent works – Antibiosis” features new and recent works by Bryan Drury. The artist’s body of work, all oil paintings completed within the past 2 years, confronts the incongruous relationship between humans and the natural world. This comes into light not by pairing two extremes against one another or by making pictorial juxtapositions. Instead, it subtly poises their contrived—and growing—separation head on with a realism that marks humanity’s detached fetishization and exploitation of nature.
Bryan Drury was born in 1980 in Salt Lake City, Utah and relocated to New York in 2001. He received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2007 and a BFA from The Cooper Union School of Art. He has exhibited and received awards throughout the US and Europe. This is his first solo exhibition with the gallery.
DEAN PROJECT was established by Mark Dean in 2007. Its debut Chelsea exhibition comes after three years of innovative exhibitions in its 2,000 sq. ft. Long Island City gallery space, located directly behind the P.S.1/MoMA Museum. The new gallery will continue to present the ideas surrounding contemporary art practice and discourse through its solo and group exhibitions featuring gallery artists, as well as, collaborations with guest artists, curators, and organizations.
