About the Item
"Allegory of Exuberance" is a playful take by artist Marc Dennis on the traditional floral still life. At first, nothing seems to be out of place in this work. However, upon closer inspection a white fluffy dog is leaping through the blooms, disguised at first glance as flower himself.
Marc Dennis is a Brooklyn-based artist known for his hyper-realistic paintings that spotlight the subversive potential of beauty and the gaze. His work marries styles and techniques from art historical movements to motifs from pop and contemporary culture. His provocative mash-ups employ irony to pose questions around taste, value, representation, and artistic pedigree.
Dennis’ works are in many prominent private collections including those of John and Amy Phelan, Beth Dewoody, Glenn Fuhrman, and Bill and Maria Bell. His paintings can also be found in the permanent collections of The Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach, FL; 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; and The MIN Art Museum, Guadalajara, Mexico among others.
