"Probably A Bad Idea," a solo show by Dylan Clendenin is a collection featuring a wide body of work spanning abstract figurative painting, playful riffs off of internet and pop culture, and Dylan's highly lauded San Francisco street scene illustrations.
"'Probably a bad idea' is a phrase that has stuck with me as an artist for the last couple of years. Pessimism and doubt are some of the dilemmas I constantly wrestle with as I pursue expression. The pessimistic voice in my head often asks "why even bother?" And I do wonder all the time what the point of smooshing these blobs of color around with hair on the end of a stick even means. As I keep chewing on this phrase, I also make every effort to move with intuitive clarity before the judgement creeps in. Maybe it is a "bad idea". Sometimes I just have to follow it anyways to see what it looks like and find out." - Dylan Clendenin.
