Artist Statement
I am still intrigued how much “Art” is an experiential language. If we understand this language, then the more we know about ourselves. Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, Pollack and Warhol among others created entirely new visual languages. After studying the late 20th artists and their work, my work is an attempt to understand and create a new way of communicating. Image not surface, iconic collage and celebrity culture are just some of the criteria of my newest artwork.
Short Biography

When entering Tyler School of Art his works were already being influenced by Monet, for his use of color, The Hudson Valley School painters, for their use of light, Duchamp, for movement, and Pollock for freedom and order in chaos. While in his twenties Dennis John moved to New Hope, PA, an “artist community” and painted, exhibited and laid the foundation for his unique style and perspective. Currently his works are being defined by four (4) different categories: “Pop Art/Warhol”, “Half tone/Lichtenstein”, “Collage/ Rauschenberg and “Minimalism /Rothko”.
