Joshua Dildine’s artistic variety spices up Lipscomb’s art gallery

Most people keep original pictures for nostalgic reasons, but Joshua Dildine works with photographs and paints over them on a large scale. At Lipscomb’s John C. Hutcheson Gallery in the James D. Hughes Center, eight pieces of Dildine’s work are part of the visiting artists program. Dildine is an artist based out of Los Angeles.

The core of his artwork looks into how society views images. “I wanted to make it more personal, but also in some ways I wanted to investigate the power of image and photographs,” Dildine said.

The third step, reconstruction, “is fusing painting with...
