Description:

Gary Benfield (1965-) "Embrace Limited Edition Serigraph. Gary Benfield was born December 6th, 1965 in Birmingham, England. He studied art at Sturbridge College of Art (1982 - 1984) and at Wrexham College of Art (1984 - 1986). In 1986, Benfield became a professional freelance illustrator. After leaving the academic world, he set up his own studio near London and concentrated on drawing and painting figures. Within a few years, his work was being collected throughout Europe and his reputation had become firmly established. Benfield works to depict things as seen, using dashes of color and lines to convey spontaneity as a sense of figures dissolving in and out of their backgrounds and moving across the canvas. He paints rapidly and discards most of his paintings and drawings, keeping only those he feels are perfected in their conception rather than overwork those that are not correct. His paintings represent a discrete world of objects, which combine figures, mythology, nature and still life. Despite the casual appearance of his compositions, all imagery is highly organized, and after long observations one can find the hidden symmetry and beauty beneath the layers of finery. The background of his paintings is soft, reminiscent of Leonardo de Vinci's sketches and sepia tones, most of it defined only with pencil and a slight highlight of color. For Benfield, the world around him is a continuous sequence of fortuitous events. Objects and figures intertwine in his mind, they dance, they fuse and one adopts the color and life of another. His intentions is to draw the viewer into an intimate world of his imagery, where sensuality and delight in life's form are combined in a flight of frolic and fantasy.
