Biography
Denning was born in Somerset, England, in October 1965. Prior to his commercial success in art he worked full-time on top of his painting at weekends and at night. He had a series of jobs, working as a roofer, general labourer, shop assistant, and pathology lab worker.[2]
He applied to study at several art colleges during the 1980s but was refused entry.[3]
He does not always work to set motifs, but sometimes makes paintings and drawings from observation and photographic reference.[1]
He has stated that his work has been significantly informed by the subject of war "When I was about 11 or 12 I came to France with my parents and they took me to the war cemetery at Verdun. It was the most significant thing that ever happened to me."[3]
Beginning in 1992, Denning has exhibited across Britain.[1] His first solo show with Red Propeller Gallery featured paintings connected to the 9/11 terrorist attack. Although created at the time of this atrocity, Denning delayed its exhibition. The show was completely sold out.[2]
In February 2008, he sold two works in Bonhams Urban Art auction.[1]
Denning held a trio of international exhibitions in 2011/12 showcasing paintings interpreting Dante's Divine Comedy. The paintings examined Britain's failings and political problems.[4] In 2013 he was one of the artists invited to participate in the Paris Tower 13 urban art project.[5] In 2015 Denning spoke at the UNESCO presentation at the COP21 climate conference concerning artistic activism and climate change awareness.[6]
En 2018, para el centenario del Armisticio , Denning pegó 112 dibujos a tamaño natural de soldados franceses de la Primera Guerra Mundial en las paredes del pueblo de La Feuillee para conmemorar la pérdida de ese pueblo en particular durante la guerra. [ 7 ]
