Located: Recent Work by Nate
Burbeck and Aaron Dysart

Located, featuring work by Nate Burbeck and Aaron Dysart, dissects social undercurrents and the immutable permanence of natural landscapes through both artists’ respective media. Burbeck’s sweeping panoramic landscape paintings leverage a heighten sense of light and shadow in suburban terrains, creating a surreal psychological space hinting at a foreboding darkness under the surface. Dysart’s sculptural practice gives nature’s towering formations a glamorous makeover; imagine a cliff’s rocky outcrop coated in a luminous guitar finish, while simultaneously creating a longing for the real thing.
