Description of the Artwork “Oppression”
This painting is simply in two colors to give it more emotional impact. This depicts some German Nazi soldiers walking down a road and how death was of no concern of theirs and I wanted to add a little shock to this one with the skeleton laying beside the road as the soldier closest flicks his cigarette just over the skeleton, to show the lack of care, emotion or respect. The painting is my way of saying we should not forgot horrors of the past such as what happened during that time period.
Dennis Short, United States
I live in the small town of Richlands in the state of Virginia. From the moment I was a small child I have created art. Over the years I have did many different mediums and styles. I always enjoy new discoveries in art and in how I can convey what I see inside my mind. My main interest is in oil painting, but I also enjoy drawing, sculpture, casting, and even scrimshaw. I look forward to the future of my art and what I will create and on here I wish to share the art of my present and pass for others to hopefully enjoy.
