BRIAN DICKERSON | Constructed Paintings is a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Brian Dickerson opening at Opus 40, 356 George Sickle Road, Saugerties, NY 12477 on Sunday, September 7, 2025 from 3:00 - 5:00 pm.

Brian Dickerson's paintings are structured from aggregated surfaces, rich with energetic brushwork enveloping built-in elements. The raised edges act as bridges, buttresses and apertures with lengthening and shortening shadows that invite meditation. The architecture of Dickerson's compositions resonates with the outdoor stacked-stone sculpture installation of Opus 40's Harvey Fite.

About Opus 40
Created over four decades by visionary artist and Bard professor Harvey Fite, Opus 40 is a 6.5-acre earthwork made of finely fitted bluestone, rising out of an abandoned quarry at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Saugerties, NY. In 1978, Fite’s widow, Barbara, established the nonprofit Opus 40 Inc, opening the sculpture, along with 63 acres of meadows, walking trails, bluestone quarries, as well as the Quarryman's Museum to visitors from all over the world. Today, Opus 40 offers a diverse selection of events in a wholly unique setting that Architectural Digest has called “one of the most beguiling works of art on the entire continent.”
