Count To Ten is a solo exhibition of paintings from Dion’s series “The Disappearing Act.” This new text based series are based on medical color-blind studies, the psychology of color and eye charts. Provocative and contemplative phrases from sources of various repute refer to what I see disappearing both personally and globally. The phrases mimic and question the modern use of abbreviated characters, pixels, and digital technology based on fragments of color. 

“The catalyst for this work was both the onset of a vision problem and the Covid 19 lock down. I found myself without gainful employment, faced with the precarious and unthinkable occurrence of potentially losing my eyesight, while simultaneously granted unforeseen time in my studio. I created “My Serenity”, the first painting in Count to Ten, because I was struck with the quandary of had I been given too much serenity, or had it been completely taken away.”
-Vincent Dion.
