About the Item

This is a large-scale vertical layered collage with gold, silver, and white mixed papers and acrylic paint. It is professionally framed in a narrow, contemporary brushed nickel finish metal frame. These work well in a series (see photo gallery for images of other available works in this series.) Each work is listed separately on 1stDibs, but I can combine shipping for multiple purchases. Signed by the artist. All hanging hardware is attached, and it is ready to install. Free delivery in the Charlottesville, VA area; highly reduced delivery in the Philadelphia, PA area. Brian Dennis' "Streamers" series celebrates the effervescent beauty of summer, manifesting the season's golden aura as vibrant, tactile collages. Each work seeks to capture the shimmering dance of sunlight on water, the radiant warmth of a summer day, and the overall splendor that defines this fleeting time of year. Constructed from an array of materials, these mixed-media pieces draw inspiration from interplaying light, color, and texture. Layers of metallic leafing, iridescent paint, and hued paper blend to evoke the sun's golden glow and the cool, reflective qualities of water. Layering, dripping, and creasing create hypnotic surfaces that mimic organic impressions of gently lapping waves or dappled light seen through summer’s foliage. ​The pieces are vertical, roughly life size, and depict flowing movement like celebratory banners catching a summer breeze or light cascading downwards. The works intend to be immersive, inviting the viewer to revel in the tactile richness and luminous energy of the season. Streamers aims to distill the ephemeral essence of Summer into vivid visual poems. A life long resident of Pennsylvania, Brian has lived and worked in Philadelphia since 1984 with his life partner Keith Breitfeller. He studied drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy, and quickly settled into collage and assemblage. In the mid 80’s he began to explore installation using the exhibition location as an essential part of the piece. He began exhibiting with the cooperative gallery, Vox Populi and remained an active member for 15 years. Brian has held solo exhibits in Austria, the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the Sande Webster Gallery as well as a prestigious Fleisher Challenge. He has been granted an Independence Foundation Fellowship and other awards. In 2016 he was commissioned by Longwood Gardens.
