Remembering Robyn Denny (b. 3 October 1930; d. 20
May 2014), one of an internationally acclaimed group who transformed British art in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Inspired by the scale and energy of Abstract Expressionism emerging from the US, Denny developed his own unique language of painting and printmaking, which drew from popular culture, urban modernity and American films.

Graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1957, Denny was one of the organisers of the now legendary 1960 exhibition Situation which marked a dramatic shift away from the mainstream abstraction of the St Ives School to a new style of painting. In 1966, Denny represented Britain at the Venice Biennale and in 1973 was the recipient of a Tate retrospective, the youngest artist at the time to receive this honour.

Vardaxoglou is delighted to return to Independent art fair in New York with a solo presentation by Kentaro Okumura, the artist’s debut presentation in New York. The fair is on view from 14–17 May 2026 at Pier 36, 299 South Street, New York.

Kentaro Okumura (b. 2002) grew up between Japan and China and is now based in London. He graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2024. That same year, Okumura was the youngest artist included in On Feeling, a group exhibition curated by Peter Davies at The Approach, and was featured in Nancy Durrant’s article “Meet the most exciting young artists in London right now” for the Evening Standard. In April 2025, Vardaxoglou presented Okumura’s first solo exhibition in London.

Okumura’s paintings are shaped by memory, travel, and lived experience. Rooted in periods spent travelling in Europe, North Africa, Latin America, and Asia, his works translate encounters with specific places into a distilled visual language. He paints what he sees – the people and environments of his daily life – while manipulating uncertainty and underdetermination, often trading clarity of form for clarity of impression. Landscapes become bodily, interiors unfold into coastlines, and recurring motifs surface only to dissolve again.

Working through simplified signs, symbols, forms, and colour, Okumura develops compositions that hover between representation and abstraction. Concrete imagery gives way to gesture, and gesture solidifies into symbol. In this shifting register, paintings function less as depictions than as vessels of translation in which memory, sensation, and place converge. His painting engages a broader historical conversation around the tension between abstraction and figuration, exploring how paint can hold both image and atmosphere in dynamic relation.
