DENNIS GATZ - THE OEUVRE OF ELTON JOHN IN PICTURES

Dennis Gatz is a multi-talented visual artist who continues to reinvent himself and his art as if he were given a creative transfusion time and time again, allowing him to endlessly captivate his audience.

Candle in the Wind - Sir Elton John

One of my favorite series is his tribute to Sir Elton John, the iconic pop god everyone knows his oeuvre from. 

Putting images on the genius of Elton John's music was a serious challenge, a goal that Dennis Gatz effortlessly conquered.

Cage the Songbird - Sir Elton John

It has not only become a tribute but a very beautifully finished series of art in which the soul

that the world-famous composer put into his lyrics and his indelible music is also evident in the work of Dennis Gatz.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Sir Elton John

Introducing Elton John is a hopeless task, he is a monument, a British institution,

but by giving a kind of life to the song titles one gets an even deeper fascination for the genius of his music. 

Elton John's music is interwoven with emotions, messages and heavy stuff such as love and sorrow. 

Dennis Gatz 's project was to mold all this complexity into a visual support for music that made history.

Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word - Sir Elton John

What Dennis Gatz and Elton John have in common is that they make people dream,

there is a kind of soul intertwining what is so aptly called 'kindred' in Angel-Saxon.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Sir Elton John

It is to his credit Dennis Gatz that he embraces the music of Elton John, which are now classics with modern art. When one looks at the work with all of course titles of lyrics by the master, one feels the music even more because one got a kind of visual manual from Dennis Gatz . Genius when two art forms meet.
