> DESCRIPTION
In his drawings, sculptures, and videos, Dyrenforth constructs a delicate narrative of the passion and pathos behind revolutionary aspirations. Tales of self-destructive glamour and excess act as the source materials for Dyrenforth’s drawings. Executed in a mechanized process of mark-making devoid of any gestural maneuvers, Dyrenforth’s drawings reveal the darker aspects of transgression. In this exhibition, several portraits depicting rock musicians who have died as a result of overindulgence and self-abuse will be on view. Dyrenforth pixelates found images of these rock-stars and renders them in his own hand with black pencil on gray paper, creating drawings that are neither exact translation nor pure invention and blurring the lines between the historically accurate and the socially mythologized.
