At Dunn and Brown Contemporary. While visiting Trenton Doyle Hancock’s solo exhibit, I noticed this piece mounted on the wall of a small room outside the gallery’s nucleus (aka the office) and snapped this photo. It was mesmerizing and so haunting to see it in person. I haven’t been able to find a biography for Erick Swenson, but from the little information I could glean from the internet, I discovered he lives and works here in Dallas and was part of Dunn and Brown’s summer group show, Floor Plan. I am envious of the individual who will eventually own this piece of beauty.
