Dennis McNulty is an artist working mostly with paintings and drawings exhibited within
installations of personalized investigations.  His work is often grounded in an
autobiographical response to what is happening within the urban experience in relation
and/or contrast to his Southern upbringing. The content is full of cultural distinctiveness,
recording faces that he specifies, conversations that he may revisit, and haunted voices of
the rural South.  His most recent body of medium scale paintings and vinyl/paint/paper
drawings highlight San Francisco building silhouettes, the typical power line skyline and
crows.
