pt. 2: is pleased to present A Song That Kissed The Garden, a solo exhibition of paintings by Cannon Dill. In this new body of work, Dill follows the fictional narrative of a group of poets who stumble upon a vacant mansion in the countryside. They spend their days lounging nude in the garden enjoying the recently deceased’s secret stash of tea while living amongst his most valuable possessions, which includes the release of a captive tiger who now roams the estate. The work ranges from portrait to landscape depicting specific moments during their stay, painted in Dill’s fast crunchy brushwork and flat abstracted compositions.
