Exquisite Corpse: Contemporary Conversations
Elena Sisto NA + Carroll Dunham NA
This episode of Exquisite Corpse brings together National Academicians and painters Elena Sisto and Carroll Dunham in a deep discussion about painting, abstraction, and the trajectories of their work.
Both painters are interested in the abstracted figure and their exchange explores the influences of childhood, freedom and risk in the studio, and mimesis versus non-objective painting. They share an investment in the expansive nature of abstraction through invention and revel in their commonalities as artists and most importantly as painters.
