"I see my task as that of
revealing beauty to those who take
the time to see it. We each have our
own vision; I have chosen to see
beauty as revealed by light. Each
painting that I undertake,
regardless of subject, is an attempt
to capture an image that is both
defined and unified by light."
"I feel strongly that Nature
provides us with the highest
aesthetics. I always look to nature
for my subject, my inspiration and
my artistic conclusions. I do not,
however, believe that beauty lies
only on the surface of things. True
beauty is contained within the whole
of something, starting within its
core, its spiritual center, and
revealing itself only to the eye
that is sensitized by a love of all
life."
Dennis Perrin studied with Dell
Weller and Auzeklis Ozols at the New
Orleans Academy of Fine Art, where
he won the 1984 Landscape Painting
Award. He began painting
professionally in 1985, exhibiting
his work widely and receiving
numerous awards and purchase prizes.
Perrin's work has been collected
throughout North America, as well as
in Europe and Australia. Among his
many collectors are the Zigler
Museum, The Maier Museum of Art,
City National Bank of Louisiana, The
Entergy Corporation, and Dale Brown,
former head basketball coach,
Louisiana State University.
The trademark and signature of
Perrin's work is a masterful
treatment of light. Whether the
subject is a lithe figure clad in
white, a sumptuous floral still
life, a moody interior, or a quiet
pond dotted with water lilies, light
is the dominant feature of a Dennis
Perrin painting. In this he follows
the great tradition of the Boston
School of Painting that of Edmund Tarbell, Frank Benson and John
Singer Sargent. Other favorite
influences include Jan Vermeer,
Thomas Dewing and Maxfield Parrish.
By marrying sound academic
principles of drawing and design
with brilliant color and dazzling
light, Dennis Perrin creates
beautiful and memorable images that
both complement and transcend the
high velocity, high-tech whirl of
the modern age.
