"Bermuda Shallows" Recent Drawings by Dan Dempster 28 November 1997 - 9 January, 1998 at Nicholas Lusher Fine Art No. 68 Phase II, Washington Mall 22 Church Street, Hamilton Bermuda
"These exquisitely detailed drawings are not only a visual delight but, moreover, from the technical aspect the artist has taken the medium of coloured pencils to its zenith. There is nothing overdone, he uses each line or shaded area to render his subject in fine detail; nothing more and nothing less."
Emma Mitchell, The Mid-Ocean News, December 5, 1997. p10.
"Each piece is wonderfully detailed and delicate, resulting in a startling degree of realism. At first glance you see each piece for what it is, paper and pencil on a flat plain. But the more you look the more you become drawn into the space and marvel at the clever way in which Dempster has captured such ethereal qualities... Whatever Dempster makes you think, there's no getting away from the fact that they are beautiful works of art."
Gareth Finighan, The Royal Gazette, January 8, 1998. p11.
