Jeffrey Dennis belongs to a group of young British artists who, for over a decade now, have continued to take a significant lead in focusing attention on the continuing importance of painting in contemporary practice. Born in Colchester in 1958 he studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, and in the twenty or so years since graduating he has built up a distinctive and persistent visual language based on networks of pipes which lead us around and through a layered and refracting mass of bubbles which he describes as his bubblescape.
