Dibble is a solid example of a self-made man, both as an artist and as a skilled tradesman. He was a 1978 graduate of Cleveland’s defiantly inspiring, now-defunct Cooper School of the Arts, and has marched to his own drummer ever since, indifferent to changing intellectual trends in university art department BFA/MFA culture. Yet even in that world, painting has had a tendency to follow its own historic arcs, and Dibble’s ongoing interests, which can be traced back to his student days, include original, nuanced reactions to both modern and postmodern personalities—from Henri Matisse and Fernand Léger through Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock, all the way up to the present.
