Dennis Ashbaugh born 1946

This set, titled Genetic Portraits, had it's genesis in the early 1990's as part of a book project by publisher Kevin Begos, that was a collaboration with the science fiction writer William Gibson. When the project was about to be cancelled we made an agreement with the artist to continue with the portfolio prints and publish them ourselves. These prints are very similar to the large scale paintings that Dennis was making at the time.

Dennis' work of the last fifteen years has concerned itself with our human relationship to science, biotechnology and genetic research. His paintings and prints fuse the traditions of abstraction and concept art to confront issues of technological advancement in a computer driven age.

These prints are available from Wingate Studio.
