Guy Denning and Frank E Rannou - 'We Are All Prostitutes'

It was Guy’s great wish to introduce Frank’s work to UK audiences. Already well established in his native land, with shows in Paris and across France, Rannou had also received much media attention when he was to commissioned to paint the French Rugby Team in 2007, followed by the Football team in 2010.

A well-known figure in the UK art scene now, Guy Denning has shown across the Europe and the US. Recent solo shows in New York and Italy featured the first two parts of a trilogy of shows he has been planning for some time, based on Dante’s Inferno. The third part of the trilogy ‘Paradiso’ will be shown at Signal in the autumn this year. Guy’s intense and powerful style has a universal appeal, due to its emotional depth, sincerity and the rarefied beauty of many of his images.

In their show together entitled ‘We Are All Prostitutes’, the two artists have not just chosen to focus on the obvious subject of the exploitation of women through the sex industry, but also the broader concept of how we often compromise our integrity on the altar of want and greed.
