ABOUT BRIAN DICKERSON | Constructed Paintings:
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, created by Harvey Fite.

ABOUT the BLUE STONE POETS

Formed by a Saugerties-based group of word artists, the Blue Stone Poets celebrates the rich literary and natural heritage of this area, known for its historic bluestone quarries that provided stone for Harvey Fite's Opus 40.
