Laddie John Dill – Untitled, 2008. Pigmented Cement and Acrylic on Handmade Paper (II)

An original mixed media work by Laddie John Dill (American, b. 1943), created in 2008. Executed in pigmented thinned cement and acrylic on handmade paper, this composition showcases Dill’s distinctive use of raw, elemental materials. The surface carries a natural, almost geological quality, with tonal variation and subtle layering that responds to ambient light.

While Dill is widely recognized for his large-scale panel works, pieces on paper such as this offer a more immediate view into his process — where material, gesture, and surface converge. The work retains the same conceptual foundation found in his larger installations, emphasizing the physical and perceptual qualities of its medium. Signed and dated 2008 lower right.

An elegant and understated work by a key figure of the Light and Space movement. A companion piece from the same 2008 series is also available — see separate listing.
