About the Item
Denning is best known for his bronze figurative sculptures and his watercolors on paper. This work, Snow Crow, is a dye sublimation transfer on aluminum with a gloss finish. Denning developed this striking digital collage in black, white, yellow, red, turquoise and pink from an original series of photographs he took with a live model and various other sources, including a photograph of a crow from a trip to North Carolina and live chicken on a French outdoor market. The rich, almost black background is contrasted by the yellow areas in a bold composition. Denning evokes a dream-like atmosphere with custom brush strokes that he creates especially for his computer work.
The black aluminum frame is a total of 3/4" wide and is shown on the second image. There is a black recess of 1/2" that makes the image appear as if it were floating. No glass.
This is edition 1/5. No additional works have been printed in this edition to date. Signature, date and edition number are inscribed in the aluminum with a diamond pen.
John Denning became fascinated by the human figure during his days as a student at the Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles, where he received his BA in 1955. His background in the arts is rooted in painting and drawing, with a particular exploration of watercolor. His sculptures, mostly bronzes, explore humans (sometimes in relationship to animals) as we come into focus and fade, inviting reflection on the passage of time.
Denning became an early adopter of the computer as a tool for painting in the mid-1980's and his current practice includes sculpture, photography, digital painting, mixed media and painting on canvas and paper media.

- "Engaging (18-inch)" bronze pedestal sculptureLocated in Glen Ellen, CACast bronze sculpture with classic green patina on black marble base. Edition of 3 at this size. Other sizes and patina finishes are also available by commission, please inquire for more details. Pisapia's "Expedition Series," inspired by sea voyages, is about meeting life’s challenges with courage and purpose. It connects to the idea expressed by J.W. Goethe: “Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.” Taking up life’s tasks can require one to go against the wind. The feeling of determination to achieve and continue steering through obstacles is poured into the pure forms; a dynamic balancing of the straight and curve on different axes. "With a rounded starting point," Pisapia explains, "I add on a variety of disparate angles, diverse curves, and twisting planes. I carve and smooth the surfaces, bringing out particular tensions and transitions." Flavius Valone Pisapia is an Italian-Romanian artist born in Bucharest in 1981. He completed his higher education in the UK, with an MA in Transpersonal Arts & Therapy, 2014; a Diploma in Transformative Arts, 2011; and a BA (Hons) in Film and Video, 2005. Pisapia studied sculpture throughout his higher education and appreciated several sculptor mentors in the UK. Since 2016, he has resided in India, where he is currently an artist in residence at Studio Sukriti in Jaipur. He has had several solo exhibitions in India and his artwork is found in private collections worldwide. "It's important for me to experience the world at a deeper level by penetrating the veil of the senses. Through an immersive process the essence, beauty and the pure form of an idea are gradually revealed to me. The emerging awareness flows into my artwork imbuing it with a higher reality. To achieve this awareness in my creative process, I go through three stages: imagination, inspiration and intuition." - Flavius PisapiaCategory
