During the 1980s Jane Dickson was a resident of the seedy Times Square area of New York City. Consumed with the flavor and scary reality of the area’s nightlife, she adopted a luminous way of working with oil stick on dark papers. This practice, coupled with abruptly cropped figures and unusual angles of vision, yielded pictures heightened with an aura of mystery.
