Brian Dennis
Brian Dennis is an American-born artist, whose experience in theatrical prop-making, interest in working man’s portraiture, and fascination with all things end-of-the-pier combine to create a body of work that is quirky and varied. His autobiographical work juxtaposes a farming-town American childhood with his urban London adulthood, and examines the formation of identity and the concept of ‘home’. Working in a variety of media, Brian strives to pay homage to the traditions of a simple life, from the viewpoint of a life that has become increasingly complex.
Brian’s work has been featured in the Royal Society of Oil Painter’s Annual Exhibition, Saatchi Art’s ‘Burning Bright’ exhibition, Weardowney Boutique, and Orgullo – Gay Pride in Madrid. Clients have included Kelly Hoppen and Polo Ralph Lauren. He is a founding member of the artists’ collective ‘AndroTechne’, and has taught life drawing to medical students at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and has exhibited internationally in London, the USA, Germany, and Spain.
