A Dale Nally Studio

Home to where Dale Nally create his art and presents it… better than gallery format though (I’ll explain shortly).
His art is «simple», almost too simple at first glimpse. A canvas with a few vertical stripes in dull, simple colors; or a canvas with a horizontal line with a few blotched circles. If I walked onto these works on a typical white gallery wall I’d be more inclined to scratch my head and just walk away with that «hmmm» feelings. It reminds me of a piece I saw at NYC’s MoMa of a huge canvas (approximately 12 feet wide by about 6 feet tall) that was painted white and had one red dot (approximately 3 inches diameter) on the lower corner. Simple but someone called it art (and I didn’t get it).
My point is this: if I saw Dale Nally’s work on a white wall I would pass on appreciating it but his work was presented in a manner that showed me how it would work. All his art presented in his gallery/​studio is presented in a «lived in» setting. Each piece is hung on the walls with furniture and all the little things that make a home feel like home (books, potted plants, knick knacks, et cetera).
Then the more I viewed it, the more it reminded me of works of art by extremely accomplished artist Paul Jenkins (who was a master of blended colors; able to make a painting look like it had glare from sun light coming across it). Staring to get it more at this point.
Not all his work came across as overly simple; he does have a couple pieces that were a bit more intriguing and complex. I still don’t know if I love his work as It just doesn’t present to me with enough complexity, but the concept of his gallery presentation works.
