Burlington Vermont - Beginning June 29th Frog Hollow Craft Association and Gallery will exhibit “Family Fiction” New Oil paintings by dug Nap. The show captures images of Nap’s imaginary family.
In his new show Family Fiction dug Nap employs his longtime love of storytelling to explore the family model and a desire for a family of his own. Including “a couple of supportive parents, and lots of fun, interesting siblings to hang around with and bother, who would also bother me sometimes if I’m lucky”. In Family Fiction we meet the Radcliffs: the loving mother and psychologist, Angelina (nicknamed Angel because she’s so loving), her smart, artistic husband, Clifford, and their fun, talented children. A staple of the Vermont art scene dug is most recognized for his prints and digital art but chose oil paint as the medium for this project saying, “Oil paint offers a depth of experience for the viewer via its suspension of pigment in the oil, allowing for a radiance that provides a 3 dimensional immersion for the viewer almost as if they’re in theatrical set”.
