Took me a good few minutes of reading comments and looking around to actually believe your work was painted and not a photograph! I'm still rather shocked.

Your talent is certainly out of this world.

I had the great pleasure to be in an exhibit and opening this weekend in NY with Denis, i must say his work is more impressive in person it’s just beautify rendered. Hyperrealism is one thing but to keep the soul, lushness and amazing surface quality is his genius. I have always held that photorealism is a tricky thing for most of it when seen seen in person it losses life, not in Denis’s case he adds it with gusto, I am very proud to be on the same wall with this man.

On a side note, he is also a great guy, we had a ball after the opening, thank you Denis for our work and your benevolences

Thanks Armin, was and is my pleasure. Always great seeing your work straight up, unlike so many others, I can stand and stare at it for hours... it really added a special depth of character to the show. Felt a deep loss when your piece left the gallery with a buyer after only an hour up on the wall!!!

And man, I could have hung out with you all week! I had a blast, and so did everyone who came, glad we hit the bar right afterwards ... Btw, buyers told me they are thrilled to see you eye to eye everyday!

thanks Denis, i feeling there will be a quite a few more beers in the future!


buy the way i would love to draw your eye, so after the show when i come to NY could we set up a shoot, if you’re in agreement? This would be very special the “eye” that sees hyperrealism dawn in hyperrealism, damn might cause some kind of “butterfly effect”

Would you consider making a video about the process and materials you use for acrylics? It's virtually impossible to find realistic portraits in acrylics so I can't believe how you can do it like a photograph...

Denis I would just like you to know that I cannot make it to the opening tomorrow, I had planned to make it but the weather and the 14 hour drive just made that a bit unreal. If you do go, let me know how it went, I just wish I didn’t live this far in the sticks

Take care my friend

Oh too bad, Armin... funny, your humorous grandfather reference actually led me to deciding to go, hoping to see you there! But I fully understand, what with the lousy weather and extraordinary long drive - I won't have either to contend with.

I will pass along your regards and hope we can make it real sometime soon.

Best
Denis

Hello Denis,
I am currently writing an essay for school on how Popart still influences today's artists, and I coincidentally found you here. Would you mind answering some questions?
I would really like to know if certain aspects of Popart have influenced your work, and what other movements have inspired you?

Hey Denis hope ur well..I read this whole article on you before ([link]) some time ago and then came back and re-read the section where it says you make your own paints and not the commercial paints. If you dont mind sharing what paint you use and what reducers you use to thin your paints. As i am new to airbrushing and will be experimenting - i dont want to spend big bucks on commercial paints. And at the same time im worried that making my own paint is gonna keep clogging up the nozzle of my airbrush..Any help would be great..sorry to rabble on :)

At the time, I used good quality commercial grade polyvinyls with varied combinations of acrylic based resins, silica gels and mediums .. filtering heavy mixtures through silk. It required using wide needle single action brushes and putting up with moderate nozzle clogging. It was a time of radical experimentation and no roadmap so to speak .. I have since resorted to somewhat conventional paints and mediums, combining them in layers with the more persnickety double action brushes. The same thing can be accomplished in any number of ways with different paints and mediums, depending on the ground used and the surface desired.
