Dozier Bell
Litany American Acrylic on canvas 1998 Museum Purchase 1998.11 This large diptych speaks to me of the dual nature of how we experience time and space. At the same time it depicts vastness, almost an abyss, and yet it seems to be rooted in the particular: how I, the viewer, connect to both the work and to the enormous expanding universe. It is dark, but not sad. Yet in it I feel a melancholy about the inevitability of the cycle of life including its ending. Litany, indeed. Dozier Bell’s work, which I discovered through this engaging process, is an impressive body of provocative and challenging images.  Christopher Clouet is a New London resident and community “cheerleader” as well as Superintendent of the New London School System.
