  William Dunlap (born 1944)
  ...
  Bill Dunlap's landscapes are not necessarily of fact, but often of fiction.He defines his art as hypothetical realism, which is an accumulation of many different elements drawn from places he has experienced or imagined.For example, Dunlap might playfully juxtapose a barn in Mississippi with rolling hills of Virginia, a South Carolina marshland with a North Carolina sky.Whether working on paper or canvas, Dunlap acts as a diarist, randomly combining ideas and scenes from the rural south.
  
  Southern by birth, Dunlap grew up in a family of incessant story-telling.Those family dynamics coupled with his early interest in Southern literature spurred his passion for the narrative, which is evident in his pictures.He tends to paint not just what he sees but what he knows, telling stories through serene and tranquil landscapes.When creating these works, Dunlap approaches the clean surface much like a draftsman with grid lines, contrived shapes, and laborious brush strokes.Then he freely scatters paint and blends patches of color to create a highly decorative surface.
  
  Bill Dunlap is a man on the move, traveling roads-whether gravel, dirt, paved-to find interesting places.He stops and photographs or sketches whatever entices him-barns, dogs, sunsets, foliage, wildlife-then uses these images as a visual resource.His latest inspiration has been the Carolina Lowlands and he is introducing certain new images into his repertory filled with egrets, marshlands, and palm trees.The pictures range in size, but all have the expansive quality and tranquility that is inherent in Carolina landscapes.
  
  Born January 21, 1944 in Webster County, Mississippi, Dunlap maintains studios in McLean, Virginia and Coral Gables, Florida.He has an M.F.A. from the University of Mississippi, and taught at Appalachian State University in North Carolina (1970-79) and Memphis State University (1979-80).Dunlap serves as visual arts commentator on WETA-TV's Around Town in Washington, D.C. and frequently writes about his work.
  
  His work is in numerous museums and collections across the country, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Mint Museum, Charlotte; and Ogden Museum, New Orleans.He has had solo exhibitions both in the Corcoran Gallery of Art (1985) and Gibbes Museum (2004) showing his fourteen paneled, one-hundred and twelve feet long cycle of paintings, Panorama of the American Landscape.He is the recipient of many awards and fellowships which include The Danforth Award in the Visual Arts, The Rockefeller Foundation International Fellowship, The Warhol Foundation, and a residency in Bangkok, Thailand as a Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest International Artists Fellow.RJ

  William Dunlap's art takes a highly contemporary view of the timeless American landscape.Using allegory, animism, and elements of language, he addresses the ever evolving American sensibility, its history, its light and its often-troubled ground.
  
  Dunlap is drawn to the pastoral and Gothic within the natural and historical landscape.Within this over-arching theme, charged images merge to stir the memory and challenge stereotypical perceptions.Unashamedly narrative in process, revisionist in stance, and always informed by the history of Art, his work strikes a delicate balance between the lasting traditions of the nineteenth century American painting, and the vanguard principles of twentieth century Modernism.Hypothetical Realism, as he's apt to put it: the specific places his work evokes might not be real, - but then again, they could be.
  
  Whether working oil on paper, polymer paint on canvas, or assembling found and fabricated objects, his art, for the most part, is hybrid.The dualism of painting and sculpture has intrigued him and informed his work from the very beginning.His Construction Series "combines elements of painting, sculpture and assemblage in such a way as to provoke connections and dialogue between our perceived historical past and the critical concerns of our current time and place" says Dunlap.
  
  Rembrandt in the Blue Ridge, 1994 - 95, echoes an earlier direction in Dunlap's work: the Old Masters Reconsidered Series, where passages from icons of western art mingle freely with autobiographical material and the American landscape.Here, a meticulously painted Rembrandt "self-portrait" stands in front of the snowy Blue Ridge mountain, flanked by panels of irises, architectural elements, a conch shell and a life-size Walker hound.
  
  Born January 21, 1944 in Webster Country, Mississippi, Dunlap maintains studios in Virginia and Florida.He serves as visual arts commentator on WETA-TV's Around Town and frequently writes about art.Mr. Dunlap's work hangs in numerous museums and collections across the country, including New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Washington's Corcoran Gallery of Art where his fourteen paneled, one-hundred and twelve feet long cycle of paintings, Panorama of the American Landscape, opened in the Rotunda Gallery in 1985.He is the recipient of many awards and fellowships which include the Danforth Award in the Visual Arts, The Rockefeller Foundation International Fellowship, a grant the Warhol Foundation and a residency in Bangkok, Thailand as a Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest International Artists Fellow.
