Dustin Yellin’s ‘The Invisible Man’ via Robert Miller Gallery
Currently at Robert Miller Gallery in Chelsea is Dustin Yellin’s third New York solo exhibition, ‘Dust in the Brain Attic.’ Yellin’s signature works are composed by building up layers of ink and resin to create what appears to be an entity trapped in amber. Yellin works primarily with organic forms, creating a bizarre taxonomy of suspended plant and animal artifacts, as well as MRI scans of human heads and skeletons. The works skirt between painting and sculpture, and could be more accurately described as 3D painting, with the final forms created by as many as 100 of resin painted with acrylic, ink, or computed generated transfers. When Yellin spoke with AO before the opening of the show here, he explained that with many of the pieces, the work becomes like a computer code set in motion to create a final product, while with other, more abstract works, the process is far more painterly and inventive.

Dustin Yellin’s ‘MRI No. 3, Red Sunglasses’ via Dustin Yellin
‘Dust in the Brain Attic’ represents an increase in scale for Yellin, with a number of works up to nine feet high. The exhibition appears as a nineteenth-century curio cabinet or aquarium fantasy, transforming dry science into imaginative interpretations of the natural world and the beauty found within it. Included in the exhibition is part of Yellin’s Space Garden series, an installation of vines topped by brightly colored fish and flowers to create a park, of a sort, within the gallery.

When viewed from the front, the sculptures appear as three-dimensional objects encased in resin. When seen from other angles, however, the illusion becomes apparent and the object dematerializes. Yellin is preoccupied with the influences of technology on life, both human and otherwise, and how those influences can play out in art. Taking off from lush taxonomic drawings and the inherent beauty found in natural forms, Yellin warps his images and infuses them with the magic of technology and his own imagination. ‘Dust in the Brain Attic’ runs April 23 through May 22, 2009 at Robert Miller Gallery in New York.
