In sculpture, Dennis believes he has found a medium which enables him to more fully release his creative energies in a way which allows a more passionate and in-depth expression of his artistic sensibilities. Dennis is today presenting to you the culmination of his sculptural thinking and ideas which he has developed and brought to fruition over a gestation period of 10 years. The sculptures reflect China’s rapid development in recent years as influenced by the pursuit and desire for personal consumer luxury yet in the context of a harmonious society.
