I featured your work in my latest journal! Check it out!

Everybody has his own opinion on art,I have mine. I said before that his way of painting people is incredible,sometimes I can't believe that they are actually paintings. I don't know,the truth is I'm not a big fan of that kind of hipperrealism,at least not of city scenes,I just don't think he did something different about it. But that's just the way I feel,doesn't make me right. I prefer psychology over the way of painting,I like the first reaction,the feeling of the painting. And city scenes...well.I always feel empty afterwards. I agree with you in something, and that is the fact that I also like to read my own thoughts into the subject,I do have "the eye". Otherwise I would be an amateur artist.
Have you seen the work of Gottfried Helnwein? Now that's what I call a hipperrealism,with the psychology expression.
Art is all about taste,there's something we like,and there's something we don't like. I respect his work,and I see that you also do,so let's just leave it that way

Sorry to but in...........

Re-cycled hippy....just happy that I'm old enough to have seen Hendrix, Clapton and Mayall live!!

I'm not sure that I would entirely agree with you.......yup, there are hundreds of city scenes but I do think that Denis is exploring something beyond the norm........OK, Hairspray may be the typical vista but as the series has progressed we start to look above the normal eye view......Dare To Be Happy has now moved the normal focus to an area where we rarely focus. Moving on to Gloucester Road there is an absence of people yet all around there is evidence that they are there, the rubbish in the plastic bags, the empty telephone boxes, the pasty shop. There is this juxtapostion of the innocent Taxi firm set against the sex shop advert........it does take an eye to get these subjects. Personally I like paintings that don't exactly hit you between the eyes with the whole story as many scenes do.......I like to read my own thoughts into the subject. I do believe that the later paintings in this series is starting to do that for me and therefore taking the subject matter above the norm.
I do think it a challenge when an artist has produced successful series in the past and is moving on and open to mild critism but there is a process of exploration involved, whether or not Denis agrees I don't know.

You're welcome! I'm a big fan of your way of painting people,never saw anything like it.

Thank you Iris... I fully agree with your thoughtful analysis and I do appreciate your support of my figurative work.

Cheers...

I like your paintings of people...but I must say,your paintings with the city scenes are just not that new subject in hiperrealism. Just recently I saw this book of contemporary art in America,and the paintings are all the same,and I don't understand the excitement of painting the big commercials for products,buildings etc... There are like hundreds of people doing that.And you don't fit that image,cause unlike them,your work is stunning. I think that painting the city scenes is just... you're so above that.
Cheers,and sorry for my english...

Thank you so much, my friend.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Well, if that is the impression that the work creates; then, I am very pleased, as I try to maintain a heightened sense of consistency both as to style and message.

Thanks very much.
