Dennis Hugh Rennock artist statement From the pure and simple clarity of vision to the intensely multifaceted and complex visual arts purpose is to stimulate individual growth in thought, perspective, wonderment and truth. Intellectual and emotional representation of line, stroke and color breathe life into the artists vision of truth, beauty, concern and or belief. Along with freedom, the artist employs a wealth of pragmatic disciplines and self-imposed principles to craft and reveal or refine a work of art. My work appeals to the general American and British audience, black and other people of color, major influences come from the mastery of Da Vinci, Escher, Thiebaud, Basquiat, Cassatt, Augusta Savage, Norman Lewis Chuck Close.
