Marc Dennis
Sparrow and Jumping Mouse Find the Magic Mushrooms

2023

About the Item

This cheekily titled scene depicts two woodland creatures encountering a spattering of fungi on the forest floor. This work is rendered in exquisite detail, down to the Sparrows feathers and inquisitive expression and and the soft fuzz on the mouse's small form. "Sparrow and Jumping Mouse Find the Magic Mushrooms" showcases artist Marc Dennis' hyper realistic style and propensity for witty humor. Marc Dennis' paintings merge 19th-century traditional American Western painting, Lakȟóta oral traditions, and Jewish mysticism with his fantastical imagination, and other life experiences. Dennis is based in Brooklyn, New York.

  • The Myth of the Alpha Male
    By Marc Dennis
    Located in Denver, CO
    A lone wolf stalks a forest clearing in this painting by American artist Marc Dennis. The hyper-realistic rendering of the wolf is contrasted by the inclusion of highly stylized, graphic stars that dot the frame. These stars seem to soften the wolf's outward gaze, which meet the viewer head on. 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.  By merging 19th-century traditional American Western painting...
