About the Item
"SHHH" is a contemporary abstract oil painting with pastel pink blue, green, pink, and violet lines on a yellow ground. This painting is signed and dated on the back. It is framed in a simple, contemporary natural maple floater frame.
Dennis Alter's layered and textured oil on canvas paintings 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 -- play an important role in the process of discovery. "SHHH" derives its energy from its use of meandering and overlapping lines:
"Creature-like, thick, flowing ribbons of color dancing
their way across the canvas.
Robust, succulent, and curious.
Stretching to burst the confines of the canvas.
Each a story. Each a life." - Dennis Alter
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. They can also be found in numerous private collections.

Comprised of contrasting patterns of color, texture, and form, which fill the canvas from edge to edge, his restless abstractions elude a fleeting encounter. Rather, they absorb our attention with rhythmic structures and visual anomalies designed to stimulate and perplex our senses. McAleer's kaleidoscopic abstractions have their basis in the humble Modernist's grid,......" - Joe Houston, Author "Optic Nerve, Perceptual Art of the 1960s"; Curator, Hallmark Art Collection.
