An exhibition by Brooklyn based artist, Marc Dennis. This show includes three paintings where he merges various movements throughout the western art historical canon, narrating the seamless convergence of the Renaissance, Modern, Pop and Contemporary elements. Known for his hyperrealistic paintings of robust flowers to his re-created Classical paintings, Dennis celebrates the subversive potential of beauty and sexuality and explores the charged subjects of identity, pleasure and power.
Born in Danvers, Massachusetts in 1972, Marc Dennis is one of five sons and grew up in and around Boston, Puerto Rico, New York and New Jersey. He received his B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and his M.F.A. from The University of Texas at Austin. He was the first studio art major in UT Austin history to receive a Presidential Full Tuition Scholarship.
Marc Dennis’ works have been included in group and solo exhibitions in New York, London, Los Angeles, Aspen, Chicago, Miami, Boston, and Seattle. His paintings are in numerous prominent private and public collections, including those of John and Amy Phelan, Glenn and Amanda Fuhrman, Beth DeWoody, Bill and Maria Bell, Larry Gagosian, David and Jennifer Stockman, Carl and Donna Hessel, Larry and Marilyn Fields, Courtney and Karen Lord, Nancy Rogers, Sean and Tammy McCarthy; The JP Morgan Chase Art Collection, New York; The Neuberger Berman Collection, New York; The UBS Corporate Art Collection, Zurich, Switzerland; The Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin; The Springfield Museum of Art, Ohio, The MIN Art Museum, Guadalajara, Mexico; and the Iris & B.
