The Painter's Room: dark new works by Andy Denzler that capture moments in time

"I bring time and motion into the imagery, by using both time and motion. It’s an alla prima technique, painting wet-on-wet; I control the speed of the painting process, because there is a limited amount of time before the canvas dries," Denzler explains. "It's a very radical process."

Using photographs that he's taken with his Leica camera as a reference only, Denzler paints freehand to build layer upon layer of wet paint, before scraping the blurred lines across each artwork. The result is a collection of haunting abstract works, that leaves us wondering – what's happened before and what will happen next?

The Painter's Room will be featured at a new solo show at the Opera Gallery in Paris from 4 until 17 May 2018. To find out more about Denzler and his work, visit andydenzler.com.
