Perfect advice, the plastic core board is good stuff too (like a 'for sale' sign material).
Just shipped a print inside 80cmx80cm to the US no probs.
To take it to the ultimate flat pack between board then put that in a larger outer box with packing to protect the boards.

Hi all.
Here are a couple of new pieces that Guy has been working on for a few months and just finished. They are not part of the last show or the next show - so I thought I would show them here first!



'Persephone (the party's over)', oil on canvas, 61 x 61 cm




'Styx (the party's over)', oil on canvas, 61 x 61 cm

very cool. Favour the top one.

Denning AP collected today - cheers

surprised no offers on that little Denning yet? trimmed a couple of prices too.

Thats also a nice De Rosa you got there ;-D

You can't get much better than free art!

All the paintings from Guy's successful Italian show are now online

The second part of his Dante project will follow in September with the Purgatorio show in New York. That work will also be put online.

Incredible work! I think they really depict Dante's vision
Great stuff

We are pleased to be working with Guy for his upcoming exhibition "Purgatorio" (the second part of his three part Dante series). Because Guy's work significantly relates to the emotional aftermath of the events of September 11, the show will open close to that date in a location of close proximity to Ground Zero. It will also be the 10 year anniversary of the September 11 attacks and the unveiling of the 9/11 Memorial.

More info to come shortly......

there's a bloody hell of a lot of emotion in them , Strewf!

Captivating and powerful imagery. Everything I love about Guy's work looks to be on show in this collection. I would so love to have seen these works in person to get a better feel for them. It's been a while since I've enjoyed looking through jpegs quite this much.

Much of the exhibition is planned to travel to Milan and Venice but not Brazil unfortunately Heavyconsumer! I will post details of the other Italian dates as we hear.

____________________________

On the heels of his highly successful "Inferno" exhibition in Italy earlier this year, Guy Denning presents the second of his three part series of oil paintings on Dante's Commedia in New York City for the aptly titled exhibition, "Purgatorio".

Originally drawing inspiration from Dante's writings, Guy's intention has not been to recreate the poem in a visual or literal sense, but instead let it act as a framework for his own personal interpretation. As with the writing of Shakespeare, Guy finds a perpetual relevance in Dante's work where the specifics of name, situation and place are easily adapted to the modern world; as if time moves on but the problems of humanity remain essentially the same.

The events of September 11th and the emotional toll it took on the American individual is final and critical element to this body of work. Guy suggests that the suffering of America is too often defined by the media in terms of the political rather than the personal, leaving the individual voice of ordinary people sometimes unspoken in the narrative of history. His work sets out to make a small and personal amendment to that omission. Poignantly enough, this exhibition will be held in a NYC 'Pop-Up' location just blocks from Ground Zero and on the 10 Year Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The work, though tied to Dante’s writing will also feature elements of images found on the internet, particularly of people in New York City on that terrible day. Significant press images are also used as reference for Guy's work in hopes that they will be scrutinized that much more intensely than the photos we glance at far too quickly in newsprint. He has also constructed one large landscape painting, in the fashion of the traditional ‘history’ genre, made from connected canvas panels. This oil painting, derived from studying still frame images from amateur video footage, aims to create an assumed and complete narrative of the major elements of the day from a New York perspective.

Guy states that this is a collection of work recognizing the suffering of the American people on September 11th and immediately thereafter - when the United States had the sympathy of the world. He wants it to be viewed as nothing short of respectful to the memories of all those that died and suffered as a result – both in New York and beyond. Guy quotes another English artist William Blake who wrote “Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow, too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?” Despite the many cultural differences of the peoples of the world we are all essentially united by our humanity; our common desires, hopes and despairs. It is the ordinary people's common humanity that will take us forward and not politically inspired violence.

This is wonderful.
