Carroll Dunham's 2009 painting Bather (one) featured in Gladstone Gallery exhibition

Carroll Dunham created the painting Bather (one) in 2009 using mixed media on canvas measuring 71 by 71 inches. The work was presented by Gladstone Gallery, with documentation appearing on artcritical's website on May 4, 2010. This artwork represents Dunham's exploration of figurative abstraction through his distinctive visual language. The painting's square format and substantial scale create a commanding presence characteristic of his mature period. Gladstone Gallery facilitated public access to this significant piece through their exhibition programming. Dunham's bather series examines bodily forms through fragmented, organic shapes against ambiguous backgrounds. The work demonstrates his continued investigation of painterly surfaces and symbolic content. Artcritical published information about this painting as part of their contemporary art coverage.
