“The Shape of Relics” by Troy Dugas<\/p>\n

The intricate, large-scale cut paper assemblages in “The Shape of\u00a0Relics” are created from unused product labels that artist Troy Dugas collects. The shredded or cut source material is\u00a0meticulously arranged to create compositions that\u00a0appear woven. The purpose of the original label is obscured\u00a0through the use of repetition, pattern, symmetry, precision and\u00a0scale. New meaning is created by the reinterpretation of colour,\u00a0shape and line.<\/p>\n

This exhibition also features a new series of\u00a0portraits loosely based on Egyptian and Roman mummy\u00a0depictions and online arrest reports. Working from imagination\u00a0and reference, the artist attempts to create a kind of abstraction,\u00a0unique stylization and synthesis. Similar to Picasso\u2019s portraits\u00a0influenced by African masks and the portrait of Madame Matisse, The Green Stripe<\/em>, Dugas creates something continuous yet\u00a0new. Influenced by ancient art, his subjects are flattened and\u00a0covered in invented pattern reflecting a state of vulnerability,\u00a0acceptance and sexuality.<\/p>\n

Troy Dugas is a native of Louisiana. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Louisiana in\u00a0Lafayette and his Master of Fine Art from the Pratt Institute in New York. His work is in several collections\u00a0including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Frederick R. Weisman Art\u00a0Foundation in Los Angeles, California. He has been featured in numerous publications including Open Studios\u00a0Press\u2019 juried publication New American Paintings<\/em>, the inaugural issue of Studio Visit Magazine<\/em> (also a juried\u00a0publication), the New Orleans Art Review<\/em>, and David Rubin\u2019s book Psychedelic: Optical and Visionary Art<\/em> since the 1960s. In 2012, Dugas was included in the Oxford American Magazine<\/em> article “The New Superstars\u00a0of Southern Art”. He has received numerous accolades including a fellowship from the Louisiana Division of\u00a0the Arts and the 2009-2010 Pollock-Krasner Grant.<\/p>\n
