Joshua Benson is a self taught artist renown for his Turneresque style. He was born in Birmingham but has traveled throughout his life.
Each painting begins with inspirational thoughts, which are layered into revealing or obscuring colour and forms its own identity. With this process, perspective of our environment and the aspect of the human condition are expressed as a visual journey. I am searching to create a weight and drama within a fragile medium. I want to explore the contrast between the subtlety of complex colours, transitions and density, I believe there is a spirit in nature and it is this I try to capture. |
