Lockwood Dennis
Selected Paintings, 1960-2005
Showing January 8-30, 2010
Lockwood Dennis thinks of himself as a painter who has also made many original prints. The January exhibition selection draws onmore than 40 years of the artist’s paintings. The earliest works were inspired by his Peace Corps years in Tanzania. Other subjects recall travel or places he has lived: Portland, Seattle, Port Townsend, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Tacoma, Astoria, Wapato, and the Colorado Rockies. Dennis was an architecture pre-major before he studied philosophy. The castles fit in with the factories, dams, bridges, grain elevators, hillside houses and office towers as architectural structures. The same is true of the Colorado mountains and earthmovers, too. The castles were drawn from old pictures, almost everything else from direct experience.
This exhibition affords the chance to see the full range of subjects from more than 500 paintings. Many people have collected the artist’s lithographs and woodcuts but are unaware of his closely held paintings. The show will highlight a selection of 50 pieces curated from all of the artist’s painted work.
