Jane Dickson: Peepland: Paintings 1983-1993 was published in conjunction with the artist’s 1994 solo exhibition of the same title at the University Galleries of Illinois State University. Featured in the catalogue are examples of Dickson’s paintings of Times Square, that explore the links between voyeurism, desire, and the lure of the urban night. She portrays lone pedestrians enveloped in the neon glow of street signs with a rare feel for social complexity, and a determination to excavate the neglected undersides of familiar places.
