Dexter Dalwood — Bridge of the Starship Enterprise
Dexter Dalwood

Bridge of the Starship Enterprise

1998

A large-scale oil painting by Dexter Dalwood that reimagines the iconic command bridge of the USS Enterprise through his signature style of collaged, art-historical references and flat, graphic planes of color. Dalwood constructs the fictional space through fragments of recognizable mid-century design and pop culture imagery, evoking a sense of absence and psychological tension despite the familiar setting. The work reflects his ongoing exploration of collective memory and the way cultural myths are shaped by images rather than direct experience.
