Dana Schutz's work has been described as teetering on the edge of tradition and innovation.
Still lifes become personified, portraits become events, and landscapes become constructions. She embraces the area in which the subject is composed and decomposing, formed and formless, inanimate and alive. She works with themes of death and discomfort.
She paints in thick impasto with heavy line work, deep colors, and dark shadows.
After looking at a variety of her work, I think she addresses reality in a very illogical, surrealist way.
