It’s official! Equity Gallery, Oct. 3 – Oct. 26, opening reception, Thurs., Oct. 3rd, 6-8pm, my first solo exhibition on the Lower East Side. Hope to see you there!!“Martin Dull’s oeuvre is a backstage pass to a staged production of Wagner’s Ring Cycle five seconds before curtain time; poised yet ready to pounce and luminous in the cavernous half-light appears a riot of gears and pulleys, clubbing giants, circles of fire, mythological shape-shifters, and at least one flying dragon.
Layering schizy interventions on found objects, for example alternating merciless swings of a homicidal sledgehammer with gingerly applied coats of jewel-toned paint gayed-up with pinches of glitter, Dull arrives at an alien ensemble of discrete works displaying all the logic, predictability and linear progression of a waking dream. Pulled every which way by complicated gestures that defy stasis, his sleepwalk occasionally halts to coalesce into almost free -standing sculptures teetering between precipitously protruding wall reliefs and later joined by neat rows of 4” x 4” everything at once panels –the latter Cinderella-hour love letters competing for whatever and whomever is left. “
– Michael Gormley
