Roy Dowell on Dance Paddle | Artists on Art

LACMA’s Artists on Art videos offer insights into works in the museum’s encyclopedic collection that have inspired and informed artists working today. Looking at art through their eyes, we hear directly from artists about works that intrigue them and have fed their own creativity.

For Artists on Art, Roy Dowell speaks on Dance Paddle.

Rooted in his decades-long collage practice, Roy Dowell’s paintings and sculptures, extraordinary for their range of color and form, combine modernist cues with other visual languages, from Oceanic tribal art to Latin American art to commercial ephemera. Made of paint as well as non-fine art materials, Dowell’s highly personalized compositions are testaments to his extraordinary eye for the motifs, geometries, and patterns of the world’s vast visual culture. His work is in the collections of LACMA, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado, and The Drawing Center in New York, among others.
