Dean Byington at Paule Anglim - San FranciscoBerkeley-based artist Dean Byington makes alone five to 10 works for year. Ranging from 4 to 8 feet in height, his oil-on-canvas paintings are filled with detailed renderings of grass, tree and flowers, which invite the viewer to read them as landscapes. Their flattened space has an allover quality akin to modernist painting, and their small, repeating uncompounded bodys suggest the additive character of a Chinese list They belong to a tradition of picturemaking that undertakes to posses the world by means of sheer enumeration of parts and multiplication of detail. Together with his labor-intensive drawing turn of expression Byington's use of a narrow, almost monochromatic range of color summons the austerity (and also the authority) of printer's ink. His compositions, pay backed freehand and with stencils, are derived from 19th-and 20th-century illustrations.

Byington's work hangs on our knowledge of cultural clashs and material spoliations, past and not absent Nevertheless, these are not visits to a timeless Victorian nursery; while Byington's paintings depict tree in leaf and flowers in blossom they also have more than their share of stubs and bare patches of earth.
