Abstract paintings, human height with hinges articulating the joints of their multi-paneled bodies, lounge nonchalantly in Jan Dickey’s ‘The Generations’ at Bob’s Gallery. Their bottom edges rest on the floor, standing on the same ground as the viewers who move about the room. Each painting is differently dimensioned and idiosyncratically adorned, suggesting different ages and personalities, but all are united through a genetic code of painterly material and form. The two largest, facing each other across the room, seem to be the parents, the smallest painting in the room shyly hiding behind one of them. Two teenagers sulk in the hallway, while two smaller painting-children daydream in different corners. We are invited into their living space to get to know them, and when we do we find signs of their development—seams, cracks, exposed canvas, layers of paint. The installation reminds us that paintings are, in their own way, living beings that develop, age, pass down traditions, and demand attention the way humans do. The viewing experience becomes a conversation.
