Stan Denniston

Stan Denniston was born in Victoria, British Columbia in 1953. He currently lives and works in Toronto.

Stan Denniston's considerable body of work reflects a consistent commitment to the photographic medium, though one would never find a stand-alone photograph. Instead, Denniston has cultivated several series of works that employ the photographic image as a component, either to be paired with another image or accompanied by text. His work revolves around the themes of travel, memory and representation. For a decade, beginning in the late 1980’s, he explored the idea of photography as very unstable evidence to the extent even of being fiction.

Stan Denniston is a highly respected and prolific mid-career Canadian artist and his work is represented in both public and private collections including: Contemporary Museum of Canadian Photography, Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada Council Art Bank, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT), Museum London, Oakville Galleries, Tom Thompson Gallery, CIBC Mellon Trust, Toronto, McCarthy Tetrault, Torys, London Life Insurance Company. His work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Biennale de Montréal as well as in France, the Netherlands and Prospect ‘96 in Frankfurt.
