    Garden of Earthly Delights

  • Longtime exhibiting artist at Casterline|Goodman Gallery, Marc Dennis invites you to experience his “Garden of Earthly Delights”. This all-new summer show includes a dramatic collection of highly-detailed still life paintings featuring brightly-colored florals against dark, dramatic backgrounds. Dennis’ hyper-realistic paintings celebrate the subversive potential of beauty and explore the charged subjects of identity, nature, love and loss. He exhibits worldwide, and his Dutch-style works can be found in numerous high-profile private collections.

     

    Don’t miss the debut of these pieces, many of which are exclusive to our Aspen gallery location.

    Marc Dennis is an American artist known for his hyper-realistic and strikingly detailed paintings of subtly staged and slightly voyeuristic images of transformative possibilities and plausible situations that satirize and celebrate art, art history, and popular American culture. Using satire and irony as his muse, and with a nod to artists such as Caravaggio, Manet, Magritte and Norman Rockwell, Dennis’ paintings are saturated with truths and clichés about human behavior and the psychological, spiritual and physical relationships we forge with art and popular culture.

     

    His paintings have been reviewed in the New York Times, Art News, Huffington Post, Jewish Week, Whitehot Magazine, Blackbook, The Forward, and his work was recently featured in Excellence Luxury Magazine Spring 2016 issue; The Laboratory Arts Collective February 2016 issue; and as the cover artist for Art Voices Spring 2015 issue; the centerfold for Whitehot Magazine, Art Basel special edition, December 2015; and he was featured in Modern Painters “25 Artists to Watch” Spring 2013 issue.
