The artist lives and works in Berlin.

Karl Dennig’s colour palette is always elegant and aesthetic, whether pastel, ethereal and transparent in yellows or rosés, heavy and melancholic in the deep blue tones or vital and optimistic in his bright red. His pictures are compact fabrics, overlays of galaxies or sgraffiti of loosely or precisely silhouetted plant forms, leaves, shells, from quadrupeds, feathers, fish, birds, petrifying and – more rarely – from somnambulistic human shapes: symbolic abbreviations of his strong world of experience. Dennig is an outstanding illustrator – complex, encapsulated, introverted in his rhythmic „developments“, which fortify the impressive apparently playful ease of his pictures. Dennig, the multi-talent, sketches furniture, like tables or throne like armchairs forged from iron as well as wool and silk carpets.
