About The Artist: Guy Denning has exhibited his paintings in solo and group exhibitions across the United Kingdom, Europe and United States since 1992. Sexual and temporal politics, objectification and isolation, some of the themes explored in his work, are illuminated through a carefully honed juxtaposition of shape and shade. Denning’s paintings blend an elegant classical form with an unflinching reflection upon issues that dog contemporary Western society.
