It's My House!
09 OCTOBER 2022 - 31 OCTOBER 2022Notes
Nils Benson (b. 1966) has old ideas regarding the art and craft of painting, believing the role of good draughtsmanship, is of primary importance. He continues this long tradition in a stumbling research style concerning the Universal.
His recent oil paintings on canvas crafted with a classical approach, defined by a signature cinematic vision in which light becomes a subject illuminating objects. His knowledge of light's physical qualities is informed by many years of work as a cinematographer. A crisis of tonality is evident in the use of colors and composition.
The current body of work is inspired by the prints of Utagawa Hiroshima (1797 - 1858) One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.
