All that glitters... features new paintings in acrylic, thread, and glitter by Blakely Dadson, who compares his process to alchemy–the transformation of paint into gold. Using bright colors and flashing metallics, Dadson asks the viewer to consider how we assign value to the objects around us, from gold chains to fine art. The work explores contemporary culture’s obsession with bling, scrutinizing the seemingly contradictory use of religious iconography to display wealth.
