About the Item

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. "Thank You Mr. Duncan" is a contemporary abstract oil painting with pink, red, yellow, white, and blue circles on an orange background. In this painting, Alter meditates on the primacy of the circle: "I have a great affinity for circles. If one were to put a brush in my hand and say "paint," I would paint a circle. For me, circles express life on the most fundamental level -- cellular: each with its own DNA, its own core, its own substance, its own subtlety. My circles are usually full of color, frequently playful and less than perfectly formed; sort of like me." - 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. This painting is signed and dated on the back. Because of its large scale, it requires framing to prevent bowing.
