Dunlap, Loren
Dunlap exhibited at the James Hunt Barker Gallery.
Born in Indiana in 1932 at the beginning of the Great Depression,
Dunlap spent his early years in both urban and rural environments. He
spent school months in a small factory town with the usual modern
conveniences and trappings. Summers, holidays, reunions and family
gatherings were spent at his grandparents’ farm. Like many Midwestern
farms in the 1930s, the Dunlap family farm maintained the traditions and
practices of the 18th and 19th centuries. Horses were used for
transportation and fieldwork. Electricity generated by windmills
powered the pumps and the radio that the family listened to during
evening hours as they sat under the light of kerosene lanterns. The
only “modern” convenience at the farm was the 1929 Ford automobile
reserved for emergencies and special occasions. This combination of
traditional and modern conventions that defined Dunlap’s early years
helps one to understand Dunlap’s later work as an artist. Dunlap
received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The John Herron School of
Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. During his studies, Dunlap spent summers
working at the Laurent School of Ogunquit, Maine. After earning a
Master of Fine Arts from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, he
studied and traveled in Europe on a Tiffany Grant. From
1954-1958, Dunlap was on staff at the Herron Art Museum, the Laurent Art
School and later at Newcomb College and University College in New
Orleans. During the next four years (1959-1962), he taught and helped
develop the foundation curriculum for the Herron Art School. In 1963,
Dunlap was a guest lecturer at the University of California in Santa
Barbara. Two years later in 1965, he received a second Tiffany Grant
and left the academic world to devote his full time to painting.
During his formative years as a painter, Dunlap trained and painted
abstractly. In the late 1950s, he began a series of imaginary
landscapes that in turn led to a cycle of tree paintings done in
California during the mid-1960s. In both instances, the method and
emphasis was to find images of nature in abstract situations. This
period culminated for Dunlap with a large mural done for the Blaffer
Trust in 1965 in which flowers appeared for the first time in Dunlap’s
work. Dunlap’s first years of painting in New York were spent
exploring floral painting. Initially paintings were done from prints
and reproductions, then directly from nature. This marked a break with
the abstract method and the beginning of Dunlap’s interest in still life
painting, which Dunlap pursued for the next 25 years. His abstract
training is reflected in his technical awareness of textures and
surfaces, his balance of different pictorial spaces within a painting
and his clever playfulness with compositional devices. Most
recently, a new subject matter has emerged in Dunlap’s paintings –
portraits and figure compositions – a sophistication which is a natural
extension of his exploration of the physical world. Although the
techniques remain unchanged, a keener sense of humor and a greater
understanding of the fragile human condition add a new and intriguing
dimension to Dunlap’s recent work. The complexity creates a striking
integration of nature, objects, patterns and humanity. He has truly
succeeded in making the ordinary extraordinary – a tribute to Lucretius.
Dunlap’s work is found in numerous private and public collections
throughout the world. He happily once again lives in an urban – New
York City – and rural world – eastern Long Island. He also continues to
read and to think about “The Nature of Things.”
