Doug Young “General Dynamics” at The Lodge Gallery LES

The Lodge Gallery proudly presents General Dynamics, a solo exhibition of works by Doug Young. In his second solo exhibition with The Lodge Gallery, Young explores the ego of man and the arrogance of governmental power. This recent body of work investigates the radical politics of our age and the coinciding precarious state of our natural environment. Vacillating through time from the unpeopled war rooms of the Cold War and the Vietnam War to the Philae spacecraft narrowing in on an ancient rogue comet, we are guided though a deposition of perceived reality. There is a feeling of anxiety about the consequence of our human urge to dominate but also a youthful faith that all is not irrevocable as long as these moments of belief are not fleeting.
