VERMIBUS
For Tipping Point Show at pretty Portal Gallery. On splay until January 15, 2025

We come across the word tipping point more and more often in everyday life. It is usually used in connection with the effects of human life on nature and the climate. The word also crops up time and again in discussions about changes in social interaction or the shift in the political climate towards extreme directions. Tipping points are described as threshold values after changes become irrevocable and extreme. We also find these in art. States from which a work significantly changes its meaning or visuality.

VERMIBUS processes photographs with solvents. In doing so, he modifies their aesthetics and, of course, how they are perceived. Once the chemical process has been started, it must be carefully dosed and then stopped at the right moment to achieve the result VERMIBUS wants. vermibus

This Friday (15.11.) we open the gates for the show “Tipping point” with new works by Guy Denning and VERMIBUS . @guy_denning @vermibus

Tipping points are also common in our emotional world. Moments when a mood suddenly changes the situation completely. Although we are not yet fully aware of the intensifying emotion, it is often already visible and legible in the expression of the face and posture.
The English artist Guy Denning seeks out these expressions and shows them in his works. With his very typical and expressive painting technique, he captures the emotions of his protagonists and sometimes emphasises them with just a few striking strokes.
Guy Denning’s works combine traditional and contemporary painting techniques. He uses charcoal and chalk, oil colours but also spray paint in his work. He adds an additional narrative with punk-inspired, collaged and stencilled text. His visual language and aesthetics, mixed with the political narrative that runs through his work, give his works an unusual power.
