David Dunlop’s ‘Quest for Radiance’ Opens at Susan Powell Fine Art
David Dunlop, Quest for Radiance
Susan Powell Fine Art, Madison, CT
June 6 - July 6, 2025
What does it feel like when sunlight stretches across a marsh? How does color shimmer on the surface of drifting leaves? How do the lights of a city merge into a glowing symphony? Can a painting convey the luminance changes we experience in nature?
“Radiance—revealing it, reveling in it, exploring it—that is my quest.” David Dunlop’s solo show, Quest for Radiance, is a dynamic exploration of light, movement, and perception. Dunlop layers semi-transparent pigments on reflective surfaces to create a spectrum of effects that evoke the way we visually immerse ourselves in nature.
Come experience the show in person as David’s paintings come alive before the viewer’s eyes. Blending realism with abstraction, and drawing from science, art history, and plein air observation, he paints the experience of light in motion—sunlight, reflections, shifting skies, and glowing cityscapes. Depending on the light and when you view them, the paintings invite contemplation and can reveal something different each time.
There will be an opening reception on June 6, from 5-8 pm. Join us for hors d'oeuvres and wine and meet the artist.
The Gallery is located at 679 Boston Post Road, Madison, CT. The show continues through July 6, 2025. Hours are Tues-Sat 11-5 and any day by appointment. For more information please call 203 318-0616, email susanpowellfineart@gmail.com or visit our website at www.susanpowellfineart.com
