TENDERNESS

BY HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE ENGLISH ARTIST

GARY BENFIELD

TENDERNESS is a fascinating piece that is open to a variety of interpretations. The style is distinctly BENFIELD, whose work is instantly recognizable to art collectors around the world. The dreamy appearance of the lovely lady catches the eye, while the surroundings seem to fade into each other much like the work of his countrywomen Janet Treby.

The image is approx. 25" x 37.5".

About the artist: Gary Benfield's keen eye for natural details joins with his vivid imagination in his work. His spontaneity is apparent in the dramatic pencil contours, casual brushstrokes and translucent colors, yet the forms are always classical and graceful and the compositions meticulous. The figures dissolve in the background and move across the canvas. Benfield paints rapidly and discards most of his work, keeping only the paintings that at the moment of conception capture the fluidity and grace of motion. Benfield has always been captivated by human form, and it dominates his work. He paints in images, translucent and dreamlike, always emotional and intimate. His work is a dance of the imagination, uniting precision and artistic skill to depict his 'lifelike fairytales'. He creates a unique juxtaposition of chaos and classical proportions, collision of color and line, realism and fantasy. FFor Benfield the world is a continuous sequence of contained causality. Objects and figures intertwine in his mind, they dance, they fuse, and one adopts the color and life of the other. We are drawn in to an intimate world of his imagery, where sensuality and delight in life's form are combined in flight of frolic and fantasy. His romanticism is fearless. Born in Birmingham, England, in 1965 Benfield studied art at Sturbridge College of art and continued later at the prestigious Wrexham College of Art. After leaving the academic world, he set up a studio near London and embarked upon one of his most productive periods. During this time, he developed a distinctive yet natural style, and after only several years, his work became well known and widely collected throughout Europe.
