Triggered by the lyrics 'Damn this place, makes a boy out of me' by rock group The Editors, the latest series by Richard Denne is vibrant with sexually charged physicality. "I always wanted to be a cowboy," says the artist, who chose a different path seven years ago when he took a printmaking course at St Martins, leading to his "wild card" acceptance on a postgraduate diploma.
Now Richard's work has an exciting, experimental quality, fusing traditional printing techniques with digital artwork. "I'm always trying to find new ways to produce photographic reproductions," Richard says. His work, he observes, has a fetish quality. And like his previous series of wrestlers, inspired by Edwardian imagery and Sol LeWitts abstract, incomplete cubes, the cowboys continue the theme of "fantasy stills of imaginary performances".
