Counterpoise

A collaboration between Keith R. Breitfeller & Brian David Dennis

Artist Reception: Friday, May 10 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

The exhibit, “Counterpoise” is a collection of self-portraits. Born in childhood, the works celebrate a persistent curiosity. This timelessness is evoked in neoclassical dreamscapes. Standing against expectations and restrictions the images close long open circles. They honor aspirations, be they an expression of identity or fleeting fascinations. 

This exhibit will be shown in the Queer Galleries at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center May 6 - 31, Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 

To see more of their work: briandaviddennis.com/counterpoise
