Dana Schutz, 2004 with Peter Halley

At twenty-seven, painter Dana Schutz's young career is already a sum of intriguing contradictions. She has staged a noteworthy exhibition at LFL Gallery in New York and gained a following for her work, yet she still paints in a communal studio building with makeshift walls and suspect wiring. Schutz graduated from Columbia's high-profile MFA program in 2002. Fellow students included such promising newcomers as Kevin Zucker, David Altmejd, and Barnaby Furnace. Yet she appears unjaded, despite this ambitious milieu, projecting a friendly and unpretentious outlook, as befits her Midwestern upbringing. Schutz's imagined universe is full of cannibals, castaway men, and primordial landscapes. Her first European solo show, Self Eaters and the People Who Love Them, opened last month at Paris's Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin. Her provocative exhibition titles create an almost cinematic narrative between her paintings.
PETER: In your first exhibition, Frank From Observation, you constructed a universe around the title character, Frank.
DANA: Well, the premise was that Frank was the last man on earth. I would observe and paint him. I decided that he needed the paintings in some way, even though he was kind of out of it. The paintings raised some really interesting questions.

The wide world wades onto the canvas, from shit to palm fronds, chutney and toe shoes; toddler antics combine with the vast, turbulent prehistory of the race. Such works are lumpy with personality, glazed though they may be with the pale cast of thought. Dana Schutz' newest paintings, on view this month at Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Art, are all that. A recent showing at LFL Gallery in New York's Chelsea district drew high praise from critics at Flash Art and the Village Voice. At twenty-six, mere months after her graduation from Columbia's MFA program, Schutz has her paint-stained running shoes poised on the fast track of budding international stardom. It couldn't happen to a nicer painter.
