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.
