Benfield, Gary - Biography |
||
After leaving the academic world, Gary set up his own studio near London, where he continued to paint and draw. His work has been collected throughout Europe and the US and his reputation as a consummate artist has been firmly established. Drawing plays an integral role in Gary's images and his background, as an illustrator is clearly evident in much of his work. Fine, sweeping lines combine with washes of colour, suggesting movement and form. He paints with spontaneity and passion, and keeping only images that he feels are perfected in their conception, rather than overwork those that he feels are not. His images represent a sensual world, a place influenced by mythology and the natural world. Objects and figures intertwine, fusing line and colour. We are drawn into an intimate world, where sensuality and delight in life's forms are mixed in fantasy. |
