About The Work
The works from Dunham's Wrestlers series depict two men in vibrant and often barren landscapes, locked in differing moments of pronounced struggle. They push, bite, choke and grab one another in a continuous effort to exert dominance. The intensity of these confrontations is emphasized by pencil marks and paint smears on the men's skin, indicating dirt, scratching and bruising, and the angiush perceivable when their faces can be seen. Dunham's tight cropping of these scenes places the figures in the forefront, allowing for an intimate view of the protagonists and highlighting the artist’s ability to play with scale and render complex forms in space.
