Beyond the Page/2020–2022
Paintings by Dana Clancy
February 2–March 11, 2022

The RSM Art Gallery at Bentley University is pleased to present Beyond the Page, a new series of paintings on paper by Dana Clancy.

In September of 2020, amid the ongoing isolation of the Covid 19 pandemic, Clancy began painting on pages of the Sunday New York Times during her weekly Zoom meetings. The paintings are palimpsests; headlines, images, paragraphs, and sentences from the news pages are painted over but rarely fully covered, a visible understory beneath the artist’s layered colors, gestural portraits, and transcribed pieces of dialogue between friends and colleagues.

All are invited to attend an Artist Talk (via Zoom) and a closing reception, which will be held in the RSM Art Gallery at the Bentley Library.

Artist Talk: Wednesday, February 9, 2:00 p.m. via Zoom - register & add to calendar

Closing Reception: Thursday, March 10, 5:00–7:00 p.m. in the RSM Art Gallery
