When we first sat down with Kyle Dunn in NYC back in 2018, he told us, “Times are changing rapidly, and queer imagery seems to finally be leaving the margins of visual culture.” Night Pictures, his new solo show at PPOW in NYC, seems like a manifestation of this language he shared with us. The paintings have a dramatic scenery that speaks to the artist’s process, but also the inspirations and influences that go into the works. The painter is painting, in a vulnerable state, where almost dream-like characters surround his vision.
