GUY DENNING

Guy Denning (born 1965) is a self taught English contemporary artist and painter based in France. He is the founder of the Neomodern group, a former member of Stuckism International  and part of the urban art scene in Bristol


Guy Denning uses not only powerful brush strokes to express his emotions deeply but also scratches the paint to show the audience the intensity of the emotions he is trying to portray with his artwork. Denning's work involves other techniques such as blacking out eyes and mouths maybe to emphasize Denning's theme of darkness, horror and maybe even despair. He also sometimes uses stencils and collaged text. A question that is often asked about Denning's work is whether it reflects his own emotions and feelings or is the artwork simply presented the way it is to emphasize the condition of the subject.



Denning adds so much depth to each piece, really makes the audience gaze into it, the dark colours fused with the dark contours of the face really does bring out further emotion.
