Denzil Forrester : Denzil Forrester in Rome

5 Oct-31 Oct 2020

Overview

Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present ‘Denzil Forrester in Rome’, a selection of large-scale paintings and works on paper by Grenada-born, British artist Denzil Forrester. In 1983, Forrester was awarded a two-year scholarship by the British School at Rome in Italy. The works made there represent a defining moment in the artist’s practice in which his frenetic depictions of London nightclub scenes are treated with the clarity and intensity of Rome’s natural light and rich art history. Initially intended for Frieze Masters, the gallery will present Forrester’s solo project in a specially designed space at 30 Old Burlington Street in October.
