Unexpected Details...Sculptural Painting...All Parts Merging into One Image...Works with a Soul...Dennis Hare mixes the real with the abstract.

Dennis Hare's canvases extend themselves beyond the surface. Paint, tar emulsions and lacquers are applied to weathered junkyard materials. Dennis builds upon these "flat" canvases to create a work of strength, enticing the viewer to touch, feel, relate to each specific piece and part thereof. See how colorful figures invite you to join their Sunday Afternoon. Hare brings to life his art with an intensity, activating mind and soul, unifying paint and "found objects"!

Irreverent...relevant...thought Provoking...creative processing...exploration of imagery and relationships...curiosity...discussion...America's realities...illusionary objects...

Pat Sparkuhl's mixed media assemblages mix everything and anything to integrate various compositions, often evoking unusual and often controversial artistic commentary! Sparkhul's naughty Boy Toy will ignite and amuse. Sparkhul's provocative works are skillfully crafted, reflecting relationships to issues of passion and relevance. Sexuality...Politics...Religion...all are combined in these works by Pat Sparkuhl.

In either case of the works for each of these artists...there is "No Assembly Required"!
