Tomory Dodge’s practice centres on abstract painting, exploring the possibilities of gesture, layering, and materiality within large-scale compositions. His work often combines fluid, atmospheric passages with more structured interventions, creating dynamic surfaces that balance spontaneity and control.

In Texoma (2011), the diptych format amplifies the sense of movement and spatial depth, as gestural marks, drips, and layered forms unfold across the surface. Vertical elements and repeated motifs create a subtle rhythm, while areas of transparency and density shift the viewer’s perception between foreground and background. Through this interplay of colour, texture, and structure, Dodge constructs a composition that is both expansive and immersive, inviting a sustained engagement with the act of painting itself.
