DENIS GASTON – blog and site






















“Denis Gaston, from West Virginia, grew up in Florida and received a BA in Design from the University of Florida. He worked for fifteen years as a graphic designer in Atlanta. In 1984, Gaston returned to Florida and embarked on a fine art career. He has maintained a studio since 1986 in the Gulf Coast cities of Dunedin and Clearwater. Gaston’s mixed-media paintings and drawings are rendered in oil, acrylic, wax, tar, collage, and other materials. His work, at once spontaneous and intuitive, draws inspiration from world cultural traditions. Masks and indigenous art hold special attractions for him. Ken Rollins, Director of the Tampa Museum of Art, states that “Denis Gaston is an important Florida artist whose paintings address the human spirit in all of its manifestations."
Lennie Bennett, art critic for the St. Petersburg Times, writes that “Gaston’s paintings have the primal, evocative feel of ancient cave drawings.” The Tampa Tribune’s Jenny Carey calls Gaston “A dedicated artist whose mixed media paintings are distinguished and thought provoking.” In 1990 Gaston was honored with a State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship, and his art is included in the Florida Art in State Buildings Collection. He has participated in hundreds of exhibitions and one can find his work in private and public collections throughout the United States, and in Florida, the Polk Museum of Art, Raymond James Financial Corporation, Holland and Knight Law Firm, Stetson University College of Law and Eckerd College.”
