Join artist Dennis Hartley for the presentation of his 2011 works on canvas. Enjoy complimentary wine all evening.
Dennis Hartley, the former architect turned artist, has an affinity for using architectural shapes as a vehicle for creating immense color. When viewing his work it is easy to be caught up with the stripped down beauty of his country barns and rolling hills. A refined view reveals the true gift presented… color. In what appears to be a fearless advance the artist wields color in a way that shifts the importance from the object to the paint itself. Despite the large presence of the subject in the field of view the paint commands attention and only later yields to the structure. It is in this that Hartley’s skill as a truly fantastic colorists comes to life and the stark beauty of each work is revealed.
