MARC DENNIS is an artist out of New York, and has been exhibiting his work since the early 90's. His highly-rendered realism has an underlying irony that will escape the viewer without knowing the painting's title.
I came across Dennis' work on a blog which I refuse to reveal (it's too good to share), but I was immediately absorbed in the meticulous detail of his works. Sadly, the images below don't do his works justice.
'Seascape with Machine Gunfire' Oil on Masonite, 2002
'American Horse with Tabriz' Oil on Panel, 2003
