Museum Visits with Marc Dennis

Mar 21, 2014

Erotica

In Marc Dennis’ large scale oil paintings, the act of art-viewing becomes especially erotically charged as spectatorship transforms into multiple layers of voyeurism. ‘An American artist known for his hyper-realistic and strikingly detailed paintings of subtly staged images of contemporary American culture, Dennis is interested in the transformative possibilities of familiar iconic images, as he explores the charged subjects of beauty, pleasure, and power.’
