| Introduction | I paint one of a kind originals. Most of my materials are reclaimed from various sources. I search for scrap board and wrap it by hand with canvas salvaged from old dropclothes, and then prime them with surplus materials reclaimed from construction sites. I paint in many styles but have found myself increasingly bored with realism. I prefer to paint things as I cannot see them, or as I see them differently from another perspective. I find that when I allow the paint freewill to express itself it puts me in the passenger seat. At the point of completion its like my eyes finally focus and I see what the paint has been doing, showing me something I knew was there but couldn't see. Kind of like throwing flour on a ghost if that metaphor makes any sense.Contact me at Benedict.paint@gmail.com |
