The start (uk)

The gallery's
opinion

“The Start (uk)” is an original drawing by Guy Denning in charcoal and chalk on newspaper.

Denning is particularly fond of simple supports such as newspaper or cardboard for the realization of his drawings or for the preparation of paintings or frescoes that he will realize later. The human being (with a capital H) is the subject of most of the artist’s work. Indeed, Guy Denning paints or draws characters, most often anonymous ones. He is interested in the beauty of their gestures, their struggles, but also in their interiority, often dark. The common thread in his paintings, murals and drawings is the strength and expressiveness of the characters. In his paintings or murals, the artist looks at their flaws, their differences. He sometimes confronts us with their sufferings, with the injustices that afflict them. Because Guy Denning is also a committed artist. It is this truth that makes them so close and so familiar to us.

In this composition we observe a character in the intimacy of his introspection, eyes closed and face bent down.

The drawing “The start (uk)” is one of the nuggets of our online gallery. We have chosen to frame it with care. It will find its place in a collection of Street Art or in a lover of strong pieces.
