Three Arrows
By Marc Dennis
Located in Denver, CO
Three Arrows is a stunning floral still life from American painter Marc Dennis. Known for his lush and often humorous works rendered in his signature hyperrealistic style, Dennis here has created a work that coyly plays with viewers' perception. The painstakingly realistic floral blossoms that dominate this picture are contrasted by the inclusion of overtly cartoonish botanical masses in the center left of the composition. Dennis is based in New York, New York, but his life has taken him numerous places. Personal mythologies emerge in his works, alongside references to 19th-century traditional American Western painting...

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...
