"Chapel Americana" Masonry, vintage coffee mugs, Christmas lights, muslin, wood and oil paint on fourteen panels. 13 feet by 17 feet by 14 feet. (in progress; this view is looking north with a montaged view of the north, west, and east walls) 2006-08.
"Chapel Americana" is a nondenominational meditative space. The north wall is masonry with built-in lighting fixtures, and is the Chapel's light source; the south, west, and east walls are composed of a cycle of abstract paintings whose value structure interacts mysteriously with the light of the illuminated masonry wall. Just outside the Chapel door is an immense painting, the "Chapel Backdrop", which creates continuity between the Chapel's interior and the view northward. This work is in progress in my studio on 57th Street in New York City, and is viewable by appointment.; see additional images below. For more information, email contact@deanradinovsky.org |
