Guy Denning - The idea of her - Ausstellung in Düsseldorf

FAKE & L.E.T. “THE ART OF PROTEST”

Urban Art

Urban Art combines classical art forms with pop, punk, contemporary art, graffiti and street art, while reflecting the thoughts and moods of today, which are most likely perceived in the major metropolitan areas, the melting pots of our society. The already well-known mash-up, the interweaving of known and unknown, citation, deconstructing and re-crosslinking is sensed and used by urban artists in the visual arts. Urban Art has become an art form in the field of contemporary art.

The Gallery Pretty Portal presents and documents a fast-moving, radical new art direction. Gallery owner and curator Klaus Rosskothen sees Pretty Portal as a fusion of street and White Cube, a metalevel where Urban Art meets gallery visitors and collectors. Pretty Portal shows paintings, drawings, prints, collages, photographies, video installations and sculptures.

Guy Denning - The idea of her Vernissage diesen Samstag (14.3.) ab 19h im Pretty Portal. Guy Denning wird aus Frankreich anreisen und am Abend anwesend sein.

Guy Denning &bdquo;the official memory of the good war“ & &bdquo;we see them in our dreams“ Öl auf Leinwand für die Ausstellung "The idea of her", die wir am 14.März in der Galerie Pretty Portal eröffnen.

Guy Denning for his upcoming show "The idea of her" Guy Denning’s work has long existed at the intersection of traditional painting and contemporary urban art, drawing equally from European pictorial history and political urgency. His paintings and drawings are defined by an expressive, often fragmented figuration, combined with stencilled and collaged text, abrasion, overpainting and deliberate disruption. In Denning’s work, identity is never presented as fixed or resolved, but as something fragile, provisional and constantly in flux. The works shown in this exhibition represent a particularly focused and intimate phase of his practice. Drawings and paintings revolve around memory, imagination and projection. They deliberately reject the conventions of portraiture, approaching their subjects instead through suggestion, movement and emotional density. Here, proximity is not created through likeness, but through attitude. #urbanart #artshow #dusseldorf #WallArt #portrait #drawingart #guydenning #prettyportal @Guy Denning
