About the Item

Pierre Dorion (Canadian, b. 1959) Pontoise, 1989 Oil and mixed media on canvas 47 3/4 x 36 in. Framed: 56 x 43 3/4 x 2 1/4 in. Signed, dated, and inscribed verso Jack Shainman Gallery label verso From the very beginning of his career, Pierre Dorion has had a strong interest in art history, and he attracted early critical attention with installation work that took an analytical look at the styles and subject matter of classical painting. Then, after producing a series of large-scale self-portraits in the 1990s, his gaze turned to architectural and other manufactured spaces, and gradually he developed a more graphic style of working that resulted in his paintings becoming increasingly spare, ultimately achieving a kind of figurative Minimalism. Unmediated by inflection and painterly gesture, Dorion’s depiction of the specific locations selected and framed in his initial photographs confound the viewer’s sense of scale and perspective. Through his careful use of close detail and flat viewpoints, the walls, corners and features (such as doors, windows, ledges) of his ‘scenes’ become pure fields of line, colour and shading: the formal elements of Abstraction. Another important and enduring aspect of Dorion’s practice is his interest in the way that paintings occupy space—both the architectural space of where they are located, and the personal space of the viewer. Rather than presenting a chronological unfolding of the thirty works in this exhibition, from 1994 to 2012, the installation strategy echoes the works’ compositions, and emphasizes the relationships between the paintings’ subject matter and the context in which we see them. Pierre Dorion was born in Ottawa in 1959. He lives and works in Montréal. Since graduating from the University of Ottawa in 1981, he has exhibited regularly in Montréal and New York, as well as across Canada and Europe.

Renee Gaylin Ritter (American, b. 1935) Growth, c. 1990s Mixed media on canvas 16 1/4 x 31 3/4 x 2 in. Signed lower right Bio from Renee Ritter's website: I'm a New Yorker, born and bred. I was raised with noise and rush and life all around me. My world was vivid technicolor, and no one ran faster than I did. I met and married the man of my dreams, and had the joys and exasperations of raising a family. And all of these events would have been the colors of my canvas if not for the happy opportunity of being able to spend some years in Japan. Japan is the perfect place to plunk down a New Yorker. While it races along on one level, there is this other part of Japan that forces you to hit the mental brakes until the images racing by slow down enough to actually be seen! Eastern thought is a well from which to draw the pure water that clears the mind and strengthens the soul. I've had the unbelievable pleasure of turning visions into realities, and of having those pieces of me scattered around the world. I'm thrilled that they've found so much acceptance in exhibitions, and I'm humbled at the thought that they hang on the walls of museums. But I have to say that I am most pleased when they speak so loudly to another soul that that person has to bring me home to continue our conversation for years to come. For the last 18 years, I've been a teacher, too. I have all the joys of being able to step back from what I do, and think through the principles I've recognized and the pathways I've wandered. And then to offer those insights to others to help them bring out their own mental images for the rest of us to share.
