This exhibition of new work by the British artist Adam Dant includes sepia ink drawings which incorporate European myths and histories into the architecture and public arenas of New York City—in effect, a view of the New World from the very Old. Dant’s method of transforming the familiar architecture of New York reveals a world of the everyday and of the individual’s aspirations and achievements that is infused with and conditioned by the beliefs, systems, and cultural constants of society in general.

Dant’s large-scale works on paper are included in the collections of MoMA (NYC), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), among others. His work is currently on tour in the US as part of “Art and Advertising.” He has recently published two books with Redstone Press, London. Dant is currently working on a museum exhibition for Walsall Art Gallery, England and a major publication for 2010.
