About the Item
Dennis Alter's layered and textured oil on canvas paintings abstract expressionist drip paintings in the style of Jackson Pollock are rich with painterly activity. Gestural brushwork, heavy impasto, and layers upon layers of color lend a complexity to each work that invites multiple approaches to viewing. Alter's experimental use of painting tools and techniques -- scraping, carving, impressing, dripping -- play an important role in the process of discovery. He describes this effect in "Betelgeuse":
"Lines and Drips have a life of their own, traveling across and around the canvas.
Each one leading a life both singular and part of a larger community.
Their color and path defining them, their context expressing them.
By dripping, I create more intimacy as an artist, as there's nothing between the surface and me but the dancing of the marks as they strike and enrich the canvas. " - Dennis Alter
"Betelgeuse" is a contemporary abstract acrylic on canvas painting with predominant colors of pink, orange, yellow and violet. It has all installation hardware attached and is ready to hang. It is signed and dated on the back.
Alter is an award-winning artist who has exhibited his work at Perkins Center for the Arts in Collingswood, NJ; Main Line Art Center in Haverford, PA; and Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia, PA. His paintings can be found in the permanent collections of Woodmere Art Museum, the Fox School of Business, the Gittis Student Center, and the Charles Library at Temple University.
