All of this and nothing: Dianna Molzan




Hammer Museum show

Summary: While Dianna Molzan was working on her pieces in "All of this and nothing" we visited her in her Los Angeles studio in November, 2010. Molzan's paintings explore established tropes in the language of painting by borrowing the techniques of recognizable historical styles, then attempting to overcome mannerism through radical alterations to the picture plane. She deconstructs and then rebuilds her canvases into wholly original forms that experiment with the painting surface to become sculptural in their presentation. (Run time: 3 min., 55 sec.)
