Most painting are a battle for me, some easier than others but my signature on the bottom means I was triumphant. dKsmith

UNIFIED BY DESIGN : DENNIS K. SMITH
The Gibson Gallery 140 Richmond St, Amherstburg, ON N9V 1G4 August 29-September 22, "Assemblage is an art form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. Assemblage is similar to college, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms and shapes, through design creating a new whole." This exhibit features some of artist Dennis K. Smith's latest works both two dimensional and three dimensional. His sculptural two-dimensional works become three dimensional through the applications textural relief. He will also exhibit works created through a cohesive collection of found and constructed objects. Both techniques create impactful and exciting paintings. Included within this exhibit Dennis will feature his first assemblage of shapes on canvas that was the inspiration that launched his Music within with series. |
