Break Down, Build Up Exhibition

Break Down, Build Up is a two-person exhibition that presents some inspiring paintings by famous artists Daniel Dove and Marie Thibeault. Both artists utilize themes of landscape and modern America and  reflect on ideas relating to consumption, industrialization, ruin, and the natural environment.

About the Artists

Like most of the amazing Orange County events we recommend, this art exhibition will fascinate its attendees with the talent involved. 

Daniel Dove

Daniel Dove’s work is famous among art lovers worldwide, and his work has been shown in galleries and museums. 

His recent paintings illustrate a fictional, once-grand environment that has now become unruly and decrepit. Whether initially built for entertainment, social organization, or to realize the perfect dream, these places are now marked and destroyed by natural factors and human intervention. 

Most of his work shows the restored geometry of modernist painting to rearrange these wrecks.  His work represents both the built environment and the history of the period style.

Marie Thibeault

The large-scale oil paintings of Marie Thibeault address the tension of the urban landscape and the natural world. The idea of the paintings is rooted and informed by the direct experience of living near the expansive industrial Port of Los Angeles. Marie’s work contracts industrial structure with the organic forms while referencing the surrounding landscape with atmospheric color fields. Most importantly, it suggests the ideas of flux, change, and instability in our environment. 

Her work has been recently featured in exhibitions such as Conveyance, at the Long Beach Museum of Art, The Feminine Sublime at the Pasadena Museum of California Art, and Color Vision, at the Huntington Beach Art Center.
