Reception: Thursday October 4, 2007 6-8 PM

Press Release

Majestic angels grace the canvases of Canadian painter, Guy Benson. His sculptural treatment of chiaroscuro allows for his figures to reach out from the shadows, serving to bolster the theatrical presentation as well as reinforce the metaphorical nature of light and shadow as the timeless conflict between good and evil. Benson’s capable brushwork presents convincing studies of the human form combined with his pronounced ability to articulate emotion through subtle expressions and postures. His paintings not only symbolize a spiritual realm but also examine the human condition through a new and unusual lens.

Benson chooses to focus on the positive aspects of humanity: togetherness, family, creativity, and joy. As a student of the arts he studied bookbinding, illustration and graphic design, which intensified his already astounding technical prowess. Benson has exhibited frequently in the United States and Canada. He lives and works in Châteauguay, Quebec.
