Artist Bio
DENNIS WOJTKIEWICZ
Dennis Wojtkiewicz [voit-KEV-itch] is a full professor at Bowling Green State University where he has taught painting and drawing in the School of Art since 1988. He received his M.F.A. degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1981 and also studied at the Atelier Neo-Medici in France under the direction of Patrick Betaudier in 1978 and 1983.
He is best known for his exploration of light in his oversized oil paintings of fruit and flowers. Each subject is encapsulated and transfixed with a heightened approach to realism. The symbiotic use of color and process achieves the effect of an interior glow imbuing the paintings with a palpable sense of spirit.
Since 2005 his work has been shown in international art fairs in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Palm Beach, Santa Fe, Taipei and Toronto. He is the recipient of two Ohio Arts Council Individual Fellowships and has both paintings and drawings represented in major public, private and corporate collections in the North America, Europe and Asia.
