About the Item: Currently living in Rosendale, NY, Ted Dixon’s paintings aim to connect place and time – filtering both through moods and feelings that result in canvases with energetic shapes and striking colors. In this way, he explores the encounter between physical and meditative experiences. Dixon especially enjoys combining both line and circle within the same painting, such as in the “Love Talking” series. In understanding the tensions and harmonies between these works, the artist states that “the most pleasing and challenging are the best parts of a painting.” In this way, Dixon is able to craft multilayered compositions that delight the eye and fulfill the viewers yearning for complexity and intrigue.
