Centering his ten charcoal drawings around the silhouette of the cowboy hat, David Shull meditates on the object’s form as well as significance and associations in our culture, such as the masculine traits of the Western hero, in his show titled “FLHAT EARTH FALLING WATER.” The works feature various landscapes or scenes reflected onto the hats, which become the boundaries of the drawings, the bold line of the rims a constant in his series; some of the works are more consumed by their subjects, the lines of the hats less obvious in those featuring a lighthouse, a brick water well, or a dinner table with a bouquet of roses and candles. One is almost themed—in Sing Sing (2023), a black-and-white striped hat features a locked chain as its hatband and a songbird on its brim, the famous prison’s name and the work’s title written by the bird’s beak. Despite their shared outlines, each of Shull’s drawings are completely different, showcasing his perspective, cleverness and sometimes humor.
