______________________

Guy Denning is a British painter who channels raw human emotion onto weathered surfaces, creating urgent portraits that feel like pages torn from a private journal. Born in North Somerset in 1965, he is self taught, developing his craft through obsessive study of Rembrandt, Goya, and Bacon while working daylight jobs as a carpenter and illustrator. He gained underground notice in the early 2000s by plastering Bristol streets with stark mixed media faces, each sheet scorched, torn, and stained to suggest lives battered by politics, love, and time. Denning now lives in rural Finistère, Brittany, where the Atlantic wind seems to blow through his studio. Using reclaimed wood, tar, ash, bitumen, oil stick, and aerosol, he builds dense surfaces that hover between drawing and sculpture. Figures emerge from this debris: eyes burn with protest, mouths open in silent howls, hands clutch books or weapons.Color arrives in bruised reds or sulphur flashes, yet the dominant tone is charcoal black, evoking both cave painting and newspaper print.

The artist cites the Arab Spring, refugee crises, and local fishermen’s strikes as catalysts, but insists the work is not reportage; it is an attempt to mirror shared vulnerability. Solo exhibitions in Rome, New York, and London regularly sell out, while public murals in Naples and Los Angeles transform crumbling walls into pleas for empathy. Denning also posts daily sketches online, offering them freely for non commercial use, believing art must circulate like breath. Whether rendering a single protester or a writhing crowd, he seeks the moment when private grief becomes common language, reminding viewers that history is written first on the human face.
