Dashiell Manley
Dashiell Manley is a Japanese-American artist who employs a labor-intensive and meditative practice to create impasto abstract oil paintings. Informed by an abiding interest in film and photography, Manley works with conceptual frameworks to examine language, memory, and history. His colorful, highly textured abstractions operate as psychological landscapes.
Manley (b. 1983, Fontana, CA) has a BFA from CalArts and an MFA from UCLA. He has recently enjoyed solo exhibitions at SOCO Gallery, Jessica Silverman, Marianne Boesky, Stanford’s Cantor Center for Visual Arts and LAND HQ in Los Angeles. His work was included in group exhibitions Hammer Museum’s 2012 “Made in L.A.” and the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and elsewhere in Sao Paulo, Sydney, Torino, Vienna, Austin, and New York. His work is in the public collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Pomona College Museum of Art, CA; and Palm Springs Art Museum, CA. Manley’s fourth solo exhibition, “Tule Lake,” with Jessica Silverman is currently on view through September 7, 2024. He lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
