   Signed Raccoon print by ednnis curry 1983size:23 x 19" Dennis Curry's artistic work focuses heavily on the wildlife and natural habitats of East Africa. After traveling to the area in 1982 to study big cats, he became captivated by the beautiful landscape and rich diversity of animals. During his service with the US army in Vietnam in 1966, Dennis was affiliated with the combat artist program. This was a program to document the combat experience from an artist's perspective and taught him the power of the rendered image.Returning to civilian life in 1967 Dennis returned to school to study art and became caught up in the renaissance of original printmaking. Over the next 10 years, he produced over 40 editions, mostly in the traditional intaglio mediums of etching and engraving. In 1980 he was attracted to the contemporary medium of Mylar lithography by it's unprecedented facility for working with color. This form of lithography is so named because the drawing for the individual plates is done on a drafting film with the trade name Mylar rather than directly on the plate or stone as in the more traditional forms of original lithography. |
