Hare’s career as a working artist spans 33 years. He is recognized as a California Bay Area Figurative Movement painter. Today he is both a figurative and abstract assemblage artist with over 55 solo shows to his credit. Dennis Hare’s work reflects the soul of things simple, imperfect, and humble. Fabric, scraps of newspapers, and other “found objects” sculpted under the surface of the thickly-applied paint create a palpable work of art, in which the materials themselves are something of a symbol for the human experience.
