Dennis Campay's paintings combine vaguely European cityscapes with distinctly Southern imagery. His kaleidoscopic scenes present a mesmerizing mix of Doric columns, porticos, slatted shutters, and balconies, gently coexisting with coastal marshes, white-washed churches, boats, and bridges. Silvery bodies of water, worn books, the solitary piano, and ubiquitous chairs take their place where interiors and exteriors blend and beckon, evoking memories, illusions and dreams.
A graduate of the Atlanta College of Art in 1992, Campay has received numerous prizes, including for his work on paper at the prestigious 2001 Florence Biennale and a grant from the National Endowment for the
Arts in 2006. He has been featured in Art & Antiques magazine, as well as New American Paintings. He is the subject of John T. Spike's book, Campay: New Paintings (2002). His original mixed media works and drawings are hanging in private collections across the United States, in corporate collections including US Airways and King & Spalding, LLP, in public collections including Brenau University, and in the permanent collections of the Harn Museum of Art, the Morris Museum of Art, the Telfair Museum of Art, and the Odgen Museum of Southern Art.
