BIO

 

Born in Oakland, California, in 1947, Dennis Dezmain moved to New York at the age of five where he was raised. At the age of seven he found a paint capsule and knew that art would somehow be art of his destiny.  He attended engineering college, served as a helicopter crew chief in the Vietnam War and later settled in Florida where he attended F.S.U. and graduated with a B.F.A. in sculpture. After graduation, he briefly moved to Indianapolis where he built exhibits at the Children’s Museum receiving local and national recognition. Returning to Florida, he received several sculpture commissions, and worked on thirteen motion pictures as a scenic artist. He also attended F.A.U. and received a certificate in Art Education (K-12). He also has a Florida State General Contractors license used for architectural work.

During his career, he has earned several awards and had written articles about his work. He is

currently designing and constructing small modern sculptures following an architectural trend along with textured relief paintings depicting contemporary themes.

Dezmain has been inspired by David Smith, Frank Lloyd Wright, Kandinsky, and John Henry.
