Also featured in Four Visions is painter and sculptor Josh Dayton (b. 1956). Art historian Phyllis Braff has described Dayton’s use of materials in his paintings as “daring…extend[ing] beyond surface boundaries.”
Dayton, who grew up in East Hampton, cited Pollock as an early influence on his art. He was also influenced by the work of Alfonso Ossorio, whom he met when as a teenager he assisted his carpenter father with some work on Ossorio’s East Hampton estate.
Near Bottom, shown here, is dominated by color. Created with acrylic and paper on canvas, the organic forms juxtaposed against flat color fields are representative of Dayton’s recent paintings.
The exhibition features all recent paintings by Josh Dayton, priced from $2,000 to $8,000.
