Embracing an iterative and labor-intensive process, Dashiell Manley (b. 1983, Fontana, CA; lives in Los Angeles, CA) employs Zen Buddhist approaches and ideas to create abstract visual meditations on the passage of time. Counteracting the frenzied nature of modern society, Manley delves into oil painting as an exploration of rhythmic movement and texture, sculpting the canvas to create undulating surfaces, as can be seen in a braided splash. In this and other works, the artist is creating landscapes of a sort, contained spaces of psychological expression. Manley’s work has been featured in exhibitions at Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the 2014 Whitney Biennial; and Made in L.A. 2012.
