Bruce Silverstein is pleased to announce AbsoluteZero, the first New York solo show of the explosive works by 33-year-old German artist Martin Denker. Featuring nine large-scale pieces, interwoven, and abstracted through the layering and morphing of manifold visual sources, AbsoluteZero expands the definition of the capabilities and expectations of photography.
Denker’s works uniquely teeter between Surrealism, Pop, psychedelia, and science fiction; his mind-blasting photo-based montages draw the beholder into a system seemingly of fantasy but in fact steeped in reality. Rather a creator than an accumulator, Denker uses image-processing/altering applications to compose and orchestrate scores of photographic layers comprising of countless, disparate sources into one final, extraordinarily symphonic image - a process that lasts several months.
