Dennis Wojtkiewicz - untitled, yet just on time to see you keeping it Cool…
Refreshing isn’t It?…!!! … but also Luminous, Artist Dennis Wojtkiewicz paints enormous portraits of sliced fruit, often scaling four feet across or more. Each oil on canvas painting focuses exclusively on the edible subject, with dramatic back lighting, staging up citrus, melons, apples and kiwis. Dennis Wojtkiewicz, born in Ohio, in 1956, explores, through these oversized oil paintings, the sensitive nature of time. The transitory nature of his subject matter, richly encapsulated, transfixed and glorified, with heightened photorealism. Light and translucency, make these paintings glow. Nature’s perfect patterning allows each painting to take on a meditative quality. While Wojtkiewicz focuses on tiny details like individual segments of juice, striations, and the fuzzy skins, the realism is tempered by a slightly hazy, impressionistic finish. The artist is represented by Robert Kidd Gallery. You can see more of his paintings on his website, or via Colossal… Enjoy
