Dallas Arts Revue, September 2005
“Always
nice to find an artist who blows us away, tornadoing
expectations. We’d
always rather find Dallas, or at least Texas artists at
experimental local venues like the X, especially since
they’ve been AWOL this summer, but …Lance Dehnés
whimsical,
inventive, stylish work is amazing in color
and
grayscale, too, if overpriced for the venue,
though
not for the work. Upstairs
is still way too hot,
but
Lance’s work makes it cool.” -JRC

I don't need much from an image: bold color,
a unique sense of form and light, and something that revives
my purpose to make paintings. Lately I've craved it more and
more. Maybe it's the war. Maybe it's the spring that is still
winter here in New York. Whatever the case my needs were met
and exceeded in Lance Dehné's show at 473 Broadway
Gallery. >>more |

Lance Dehné's work rests comfortably
in the duality of drawing's traditional fuction. On one hand,
he is concerned with drawing as an apparatus of scientific
objectivity; on the other hand, Dehné has also exhaustively
studied engineering. >>more |

Lance Dehné: el albor abstracto
The Abstract Dawn Raimundo
Diaz
Valencia-2004
|
The
creations of Lance Dehné are in the bifurcation of two ways,
as if by force of will, the artist stopped in crossroads
between the abstraction and the figurative thing. It is not
indeed an adverse confluence. Those affluents give to the
river the might of their waters. The expressive strength of
its art is in the permanent transition, in the mixture, that
keeps a close relationship with its successful creative
trajectory. Dehné offers to us more than an impulsive
explosion of colors. >>more |
