Kleidon Has Solo Art Show at The Little Art Gallery
Dennis Kleidon, a member of the Rotary Club of Fairlawn, Professor of Art Emeritus of the University of Akron Myers School of Art, and co-founder of Kleidon & Associates, a marketing communications firm in Bath, will show more than twenty recent paintings at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, Ohio. The Gallery adjoins the North Canton Public Library. The show runs from July 10 through August 16, 2025, with an opening reception July 10, at 5:30-7:30 PM.Kleidon is represented by the Walter Wickiser Gallery in New York City. His paintings have been shown in major exhibits and galleries throughout the United States, including the Los Angeles Modern & Contemporary Art Show, Seattle Art Fair, Art Miami Context, Art on Paper in New York City, Palm Beach/Art Miami, the Vista Center for the Arts in Phoenix, Gallery Andrea in Scottsdale, Art Space 349 in Palm Desert, California, and many others.
His work has been recognized by the world-renowned art critic, Edward Luci-Smith, as “deeply personal” and bursting with life.” Recent reviews have appeared in Art & Antiques Magazine, White Hot Magazine, Art Miami, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Quarterly Newsletter.
Art critic Lorien Suarez-Kanerva says “He works to create paintings where all the compositional elements with their distinct details achieve a unifying form of balance that draws inspiration from the beauty of nature….It’s an aspiration that Kleidon has extended towards his creative way of being.”
Among the most recent work, Transcendence paintings symbolize the conversion of one’s life to a new and exciting future vision. In another recent series, Transformation, paint explodes from graphic shapes to contrast an aggressive dynamic over a thoughtfully relaxed background. This series shares its title with a book by Kleidon, Unleash Your Imagination: Transform Your Life, which encourages readers to unleash their imaginations and find their hidden passions.
Kleidon has dedicated his professional life to advancing excellence in design and art and to improving the visual environment. His Designer Grids and other products have been used by designers, architects, and artists around the world. Always a teacher, Kleidon wants the freedom, power, and optimism of his paintings to enrich the lives of all who see and own them. He says, “Experience the excitement of bold colors in motion and their abstract implications. Become saturated with their visual and transformative potential.”
The Little Art Gallery is located at 185 North Main Street, North Canton, Ohio 44720. Their website is www.northcantonlibrary.org/little-art-gallery. Kleidon’s paintings can also be seen at www.denniskleidon.com.
