Dennis Clark (DEBO)
1937 born in Chicago
If one could assemble a complete
collection of DEBO's works,
spanning over a quarter century
of excellence, it would be easy to
understand why DEBO has
become an artist of international
reputation with paintings
displayed in some of the world's
most prestigious museums and
private collections.
DEBO's self-taught style,
hauntingly reminiscent of
Rembrandt, has been perfected
over years spent capturing the
spirit and essence of the time on
canvas as seen through the faces
of his subjects.
DEBO's extensive wine
collection brought him naturally
to the creation of the The Vintners
Collection, a highly-acclaimed
series of twenty-five portraits
comprising this country's finest
winemakers such as Robert
Mondavi, Louis Martini, Joseph
Heitz and Tom Jordan.
Once again expanding and
exploring along with his art,
DEBO is currently marrying his
philosophical nature with his
portrait studies in his Prophet
Series and breaking new ground
with his exquisite still lifes in
between commissioned oil
portraits of uncanny realism
and beauty. A new quarter-
century of excellence in art
begins...
