Episode Notes

About our guest

Marc Dennis is a celebrated artist who’s masterful work challenges our perception and constantly provokes what we see in our mind’s eye with polarity and play. 

Marc’s incredible technical skill and vivid imagination explores the pictorial representation of the old masters, creating fresh paintings rich with irony, hype and narrative where elements of art history intersect with pop culture. 

He is represented in well known galleries and held in permanent collection across the globe and shows during Frieze London, Art Basel Miami and The Armory Show to name a few.

Marc continues to teach the business side of the art world ‘Succeeding as a Professional Artist’ at The Art Students League of New York.
