About the Item
In AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, Samuel Dunson creates an epic work that encompasses generations, drawing upon his own personal creative history and inspirations to express the life-giving benefits of positive influence. Working upon a hand-sewn canvas of repurposed fabric, he portrays himself in the center of the painting during three time periods of his life (his youth, his adulthood, his present day). These three eras are bonded through a cosmic connection that transcends time: the Samuel Dunson of today reaches down, planting a bridge of flowers as a path upon which the younger artists can walk. At the bottom of his painting can be seen some of the real results of these patterns of cross-generational inspiration: Dunson’s former (and present) house numbers are lined up at the bottom of the painting, revealing what can be possible through these cycles of positive influence.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is a work of acrylic, oil, vinyl, yarn, and glitter, united on a handmade cushion.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION was included in Samuel Dunson’s September 2022 solo show at Channel to Channel.

CHEF
S HAT - Intricate Collage Wall Hanging Sculpture w/ Thick Painted Paper
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
"I welcome the continual emergence of change, evolution, and the inevitable challenges that
form a large part of a working artist’s life."
With CHEF'S HAT, a recent and evolving work, I am moving into more dimensionality and space.
My intention is to push patterned and embellished surfaces on paper from its naturally flat
surface into a more structural and spatial plane. This involves making sculptural pieces from
paper and experimenting with new construction methods using strips and lengths of paper
over-lapped and fastened together, shaped into objects with physical presence. I feel I am
migrating from the flat surface into the third dimension. I envision the paper constructions
as a landscape to be wandered in and out of, through and around, a space that invites all
and sundry to enter on their own terms. I hold firmly to the belief that my work exhibits a
playfulness that belies a more serious assessment of our social world. I am interested in how
something that is initially perceived as frivolous and celebratory can constitute a reaction
against and resistance to the shadowy world of misfortune, hard luck, and weariness.
Born in 1959, Lanie Gannon was predominantly inspired by the 1970s. Conceptualism is often perceived as a reaction to Minimalism, and the leading art movement of the 1970s, challenging the boundaries of art with its revolutionary features. The movements that succeeded were all representative of a strong desire to evolve and strengthen the art world, in response to the tensions of the previous 1960s. Process art branched...
