Unique artist style Michael DeNicola formed thanks to a good knowledge of the work of street graffiti artists and reading "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Denikola draws with a pen, and the heroes of his drawings are zombies, monsters and strange anthropomorphic animals.
Denikola grew up and received his art education in New York. The two most popular series of drawings in his portfolio are - Zombie Yearbook and "Human Animals" … In zombie "portraits" the artist gives free rein to his imagination and depicts the decaying living dead, accompanying each picture with a signature in the spirit of American school yearbooks: "The Strongest", "The Most Charming Smile", "This Guy Will Do It All" and so on.
Denikola's extravagant works are popular in American art circles: his drawings are exhibited in prestigious galleries in New York and Los Angeles. But the artist does not distance himself from the people: he diligently blogs on social networks, where he regularly publishes new works. Getting to know the young artist on Twitter sheds light on the sources of his inspiration - among them "Dracula" by Bram Stoker and David Cronenberg's film "The Fly."
On Kulturologia.ru we have already written about many young talents from New York, like a landscape painter Alex Lucas and designer Sebastian Errazuriz … Denikola is a vivid heir to the traditions of New York's "marginal art", which was represented in the 1970s-1980s, for example, by the outstanding artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Like his great predecessors, Denikola remembers that in art there is always a place for "trash" and hooliganism.
