Dana Robinson: The Middle Distance
Ivester Contemporary is proud to present The Middle Distance, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Dana Robinson. This exhibition marks Robinson鈥檚 first solo presentation with the gallery and features twelve new paintings composed of acrylic, ink, and fabric on canvas.
Working at the intersection of materiality and memory, The Middle Distance explores themes of perception, nostalgia, and the elusive nature of reality. Robinson鈥檚 layered surfaces combine vivid color, hand-dyed textiles, and painterly abstraction to create mercurial compositions that feel suspended between clarity and collapse. Her work invites viewers into a space of anticipation, where past, present, and imagined futures converge and blur.
Referencing everything from family photographs to digital detritus, Robinson pieces together a world that reflects the fractured and often disorienting flow of contemporary life. Fabric plays a central role in these works, functioning as both a literal and symbolic thread that connects disparate elements. Patterns and fragments serve as anchors to memory, while also opening space for new associations and fantasies. The result is a body of work that holds mystery and multiplicity, resisting singular interpretation.
