[no title] 1978

Curator: Here we have an untitled work by the British artist Robyn Denny, known for his large-scale abstract paintings and prints. Editor: It's striking. The boldness of the red and the geometric forms give it such a powerful, almost confrontational presence. Curator: Denny was a key figure in the British abstract art scene, exploring the relationships between colour, form, and space. His work often reflected the urban environment. Editor: Knowing that, I see the green shapes as maybe representing buildings or some kind of constructed landscape against that overpowering red background. Curator: Perhaps, though Denny was very interested in the viewer's experience, how the work interacts with the viewer in the space. Editor: Right, and those stark contrasts do create a space that feels both visually stimulating and a little unsettling. It challenges you. Curator: Exactly. Denny used abstraction to address a changing society. Editor: It really gets you thinking about how our surroundings affect us. Curator: Indeed, a perfect encapsulation of his practice.
