| Robyn Denny |
| Biography |
| Born in Abinger 1930. He studied at St Martin's School of Art in London from 1951 to 1954, then at the Royal College of Art, London, from 1954 to 1957. He taught at Hammersmith College of Art, between 1957 and 1959, at the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, Wiltshire, from 1959 to 1965, and the Slade School of Art, London, in 1965. In 1959 Denny completed the pulsating mural commissioned by the London tailors Austin Reed and was involved in the collaborative 'environment' Place at the ICA in London in 1959. He was represented in the important Situation exhibition at the RBA Galleries, London, in 1960, and a solo exhibition of his paintings was held the following year at the Molton Gallery in London. Denny became one of the most prominent British painters of the 1960s and was included in London: The New Scene, 1965-66, at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, which toured the United States and Canada, and Five Young British Artists at the British Pavilion at XXXIII Venice Biennale in 1966. In 1973 the Tate Gallery presented a major mid-career retrospective of Denny's work which toured to Europe. Critical developments in painting during the 1980s stimulated renewed interest in the artist's earlier work, which was included in The Sixties Art Scene in London at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, in 1993. Following a period spent in the United States, Denny returned to London in the 1990s, exhibiting with Hirschl Contemporary Art in London in 2001-02. |
