Dominick Di Meo Limp Voyeur in a Humid Landscape (Thomas Dane Gallery, London)

Corbett vs. Dempsey is pleased to announce Limp Voyeur in a Humid Landscape , the first solo exhibition of Dominick Di Meo’s work in London and the fourth collaborative effort between CvsD and Thomas Dane Gallery.

Featuring a range of works from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s, the exhibition spotlights Di Meo’s dark sense of humor, his bristling creativity, and his penchant for novel and unusual material.  A group of monochromatic reliefs fabricated in Florence, Italy, while he was there from 1961-1963 is contrasted with a selection of his extremely nuanced drawings from the same period, some featuring graphite rubbings taken from the reliefs.  A surreal psychological dimension emerges more prominently in Di Meo’s transfer paintings, made from the mid ’60s onward; these incorporate appropriated magazine images into aggregated piles, sometimes conflating a landscape and a torso.
