Diane has shown throughout New York City, San Francisco, Lacoste France, Barcelona, Los Angles and Miami. She has received critical acclaim in the 2007 issue of the Village Voice. She graduated from university of Toledo, Ohio. Diane lives and works in New York. “This work is about transformation on a few levels. The paintings are based on underwater photos of battleships (sunken by atomic testing in the 40’s) that have been converted into cozy deep sea condos by saltwater, algae, and mollusks. The monochromatic photos I work from are found online, rescued and reconstructed as oil paintings. I’m interested in what happens when a disturbing remembrance, like the skeleton of a warship, is described in rich and vibrant color. These relics of destruction, changed the first time by the sea into something useful, are transformed yet again by the power of color into something else entirely.” – Diane Dwyer Curriculum Vitae Solo Shows: 2008 Leo Kesting Gallery NYC Group Shows 2009 Prescott College Prescott, AZ Awards: 2007 Ucross Foundation Artists Residency Ucross, WY Press: 2009 http://therecessionaire.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/fountain-art-fair-2009-opening-reception/ 2009 http://www.moreintelligentlife.com/story/fountain-river 2009 http://ya.livejournal.com/227405.html 2006 http://www.outrageouslook.com/press/Dwyer_Vellum.pdf
