Red Propeller Gallery is Guy Denning's primary gallery with a permanent inventory of new original paintings and we hold a major solo show with him every year in the UK - Guy Denning’s upcoming show ‘BEHEMOTH’ at St Martin in The Field, Trafalgar Square, London, in September 2010 is now confirmed. This landmark show, opening in the dramatic setting of the Crypt Gallery, with its atmospheric lighting and brick-vaulted ceiling, promises to be one of Guy’s most powerful shows to date.

'BEHEMOTH'

'Working initially from screen-shots from a small section of the 1928 film La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc I made over a hundred preliminary sketches. From these I have produced fifty larger finished drawings and from these drawings I have made this series of paintings.

This work is about losing faith; specifically the loss of faith in the body politic to work beyond agendas of party, power, country or personal gain. Its subjects are those moments in recent history when the ordinary and the sane among us sit back and despair of the twisted, sick ends woven by ‘respectable’ political means. Those moments when the realists and idealists alike think ‘what have we become... why are you doing this in our name?
This loss is brought into focus by a specific political outrage or scandal and related to the personal through my inspiration derived from Dreyer's film and Renée Jeanne Falconetti’s portrayal of Joan of Arc.'
