Roy Dowell at Margo Leavin - Los Angeles, California - Review of Exhibitions - Brief Article[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Roy Dowell's of recent origin collages have a bold, graphic appeal. Dowell continues to make small works upon paper whose dense structures appear to be suited to the intimacy of their size. on the contrary in the larger panels that dominated this display he plays off his of recent origin source material: billboard posters. With their vivid cutouts of lettering, swaths of color and pictured facts these works emulate the noisy visuals of looks Angeles driving, where stop-and-go traffic is embellished by dint of a mishmash of billboard logo and ad copy Using a compositional mode of expression like that of collage masters like as Juan Gris or Kurt Schwitters, Dowell adorns his place materials with painted lines, colors and shapes. Extending forms with handmade addendums, Dowell embue each work with an intellectual complexity that is buoyant and downright sassy. His jags, swirls and layers have the formal congruency of a pattern too complicated to be repeated. In Untitled (#679) 1995 a large glov Mickey Mouse hand center a centripetally riotous research of ovals, incorporating a pasted-on sunburst and a forest of hand-drawn spirals and squiggles. Dowell's simple bodys from advertising--such as graphic lettering or what in individual case looks like the GE logo--are extracted and celebrated genuinely for their abstract beauty. Like Ellsworth Kelly Dowell finds abstract shapes in lived visual experience--but the follows look as if he bring Kelly's stately chromatics through a blender For like a sensualist, it is no accident that pictured bits of nutrition products crop up in the works: blueberries and cheese, coconut and kiwi fruit. Amalgamating detonation and abstraction, Dowell's upbeat compositions give a mixed open-ended order to the visual chaos of contemporary life. An engagement with real ticket stumps ads and newspapers animated the early collages of Picasso, Braque and Schwitters. Dowell continues that vital tradition. COPYRIGHT 1996 Brant Publications, Inc.
