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. He describes his process creating "Through the Looking Glass:"
"Dragging a flat edge across a still-wet painted surface
creates the potential for a new entity, a new life.
The surface of the paint in invaded, dispossessed, and
transformed by the act of sweeping across the colors
and volume; destroying things, but creating a heightened
synthesis of them." - Dennis Alter
"Through the Looking Glass" is a contemporary abstract oil painting with predominant colors of yellow, red, & blue. It was exhibited at Perkins Center for the Arts, 2019 Fall Annual Juried Exhibition. 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.
