Artist: Daniel Duford
JSMA at PSU exhibition:

Johns Brown’s Vision of the Scaffold.

Duford’s visual flow through large paintings, graphic novels, figurative sculpture. The exhibition focuses on mythology and storytelling with radical abolitionist John Brown as the central figure. As Duford witnesses the fire circumstances of American politics, the analogy to Brown’s ideology and activism have piqued a series of paintings based on portraits of Brown and his contemporaries. The subjects are presented in anachronistic settings as if they were sitters in Duford’s studio. Concurrently, the landscape behind and around the sitters is an essential “character” in Duford’s narrative.
