Planthouse is pleased to present a new series of monotypes by Richard Dupont, created in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn. Each unique print is produced through a hybrid process combining screen printing, graphite powder, and oil. The use of graphite situates the works firmly within the tradition of drawing, while the screen-printed elements introduce a graphic and structural clarity. Graphite powder is added to the printed dot matrix and then rubbed off. Through this process, the works oscillate between stillness and motion, presence and erasure. Dupont creates spaces of psychological projection—sites where viewers encounter states of solitude, distance, and inwardness.
The pared-down palette captures the effects of light moving across the surface of water, and the indeterminate space is punctuated by the presence of isolated figures—swimmers, surfers, and solitary forms suspended in the reflective fields. These figures are neither narrative nor documentary; they function instead as emotional anchors within expansive, shifting environments. The images suggest moments of quiet withdrawal and heightened awareness, where the boundary between body and environment becomes porous. Rooted in observation yet filtered through abstraction, they reflect contemporary conditions of isolation, reflection, and dislocation.
