John Dempsey’s large scale paintings bring together different environments – factories, religious spaces, government facilities, public areas and landscapes – into single compositions. He visually chronicles and explores the complex combinations of environments that we collage together from memory everyday as we form impressions of the places we go. These paintings from the Glare Series present a variety of environments together, all at once, in order to visually chronicle and explore this complex circumstance of place. Dempsey’s studio is in Flint, and he currently is an Instructor at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.
