 Carrol, or Tip, Dunham has a very colorful show of his cartoon influenced painting at Gladstone Gallery. The mark making in Carrol Dunham's work is what really distinguishes his work. There is a large combination of marks and referential styles bridging the gap between graphic stylization of cartoons and the subtlety of color and texture only possible in painting. He also manages to preserve a freshness to many of his paintings. Which makes me wonder about the span of dates listed on each painting. Some list quite a few months on them, yet are almost watercolor like in their transparency. What he did in those months is a mystery as it doesn't show in the paint application.
