My objective paintings

While landscape painting anchors much of my work, my deeper focus lies in the invisible energies that shape and inform the emergence of form. I’m drawn to the transformative moment when pure energy condenses into matter—a threshold in the universe’s unfolding that reveals the intricate interplay between the fundamental forces behind existence.

My non-objective paintings

I’ve long been captivated by the spontaneous creation of patterns—the way form emerges through fluid motion and natural forces. My poured paintings are rooted in the groundbreaking “accidental painting” technique pioneered by David Alfaro Siqueiros, in which paints of differing viscosities are layered and allowed to interact organically.

Rather than relying on additives like silicone—which can compromise the integrity and longevity of acrylics—I embrace the raw chemistry of the materials. Through controlled pours and multiple applications over textured surfaces, I allow the paints to separate naturally, resulting in intricate, unpredictable patterns that seem to evolve on their own.

Each painting carries physical weight and depth—built layer by layer, revealing hidden symmetries and tension. They’re not just objects; they’re living records of movement, material, and time.

Dale Beckman

Montana-born artist Dale Beckman creates expressive landscape paintings that explore the invisible energies shaping our world. Deeply influenced by the sculptural terrain of the Badlands and inspired by artists like Van Gogh and Charles Burchfield, Beckman’s style—abstracted realism—blends natural form with metaphysical depth.

With a B.A. from Rocky Mountain College and post-graduate work at the University of Montana, Beckman built a career exhibiting throughout the Southwest, including Santa Fe and Abiquiú. His work has been featured in regional galleries and museums such as the Myrna Loy Center, Hockaday Museum, and Holter Museum of Art. Today, his paintings reside in private and corporate collections nationwide.
