Houston, Texas. The Bryan Miller Gallery is proud to present “Kent Dorn: Dweller”, on view at the gallery from January 13th through February 18th 2012. There will be an opening reception on Friday, January 13th from 6 – 8 pm. This solo exhibition features new paintings by the Houston based artist. Kent Dorn’s paintings depict an exchange between man and nature that explores both physical and psychological terrain. The protagonist of his new body of work, the dweller, inhabits the outdoors in the same way most of us inhabit our living rooms. His cliff near a glowing fire is our sofa near a glowing television. He wades across a stream like he’s crossing a street. The dweller is not depicted in every painting, but even when he is “off-camera” his peculiar presence is nearly tangible.
