A New Wave of Artistic Expression
Dennis Kleidon paints robust abstractions exploring the possibilities of paint in action, reveling in color in ways that appear at first to be intuitive, but soon reveal a sure sense of gesture -- at once invigorating and calming. His work has been recognized by the preeminent art critic, Edward Lucie-Smith, as "deeply personal" and "bursting with life." Lucie-Smith says "Kleidon's paintings have...powerful symbolic messages." The full review is available.
Three phases of Kleidon's recent work are shown here in three galleries: Unleashed, Textures of Taliesin and Turbulence. Like many abstract expressionists, Kleidon balances the orderly backgrounds of his paintings with an aggressive attack on the canvas. A student of art, architecture and design and a classically trained pianist, Kleidon integrates a multitude of influences into his compositions.
Kleidon is represented by the Walter Wickiser Gallery in New York City. A recent Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation newsletter article explores Kleidon's aesthetic concepts.
