From the hip

Artist's rendition

Dennis Kline's surreal art is all about psychadelic impossibility. Using brilliant colors and crazy, dreamlike designs, Kline, whose work will be part of First Friday soon, creates artscapes that are hard to look away from. Kline, originally from Minneapolis, decided at age 20 to pursue art professionally. "You can guide yourself to let go and just watch your mind pour onto the page if you go with the flow," the 27-year-old said. "The results are lines and colors that couldn’t be, but our brains like them."
