Dianna Molzan

Dianna Molzan was born in 1972 in Tacoma. She lives and works in Los Angeles. Dianna Molzan experiments with new sculptural approaches to painting while maintaining an anchor in classical materials such as creating a handle out of canvas or restricting the painting to only the stretcher bars. These new approaches allow Molzan to marry the high brow of canonical painting materials with kisch, or as curator Laura Hoptman called it in 2014, a contemporary “reenactment” of traditional painting.
