The Painterly World of Dennis McGeary
Black and white symbolises the profound contrast of our lives. Numerous brushstrokes represent time. Multiple lines create momentum and direction. Together, they build a path for your eyes to travel.

"My Brothers Passing
Acquisition Award
The State of Hawaii Foundation on Culture and the Arts

.My Brothers Passing" is an acrylic and acrylic enamel painting on wood. Many layers of colored brushstrokes were used to create the movement within the picture. I started working without preconceptions. What evolved was a strong composition imbued with symbolism. The dark greens {Earth}, and the bright light {Spirituality} create a silent turbulence and a sense of release.
