About the Item
Anthony Benjamin, 'Green Dots', acrylic and gouache on gold leaf board, image size 9" x 12", signed and dated 1999. Artist Estate Stamp on verso
Provenance: From the Artist Estate
A Gallery Certificate accompanies the painting
Anthony Benjamin was a 20th Century abstract precisionist artist. Born in 1931 he was active throughout the second half of the century. Experimental, talented and obsessive, Benjamin moved fluidly between mediums and refused to be tied to any practise. He was recognised by the Academy, his pier group and leading Galleries who displayed his work.
He was also daring. At at time when the art-world was fixated with the St Ives Group of artists, Benjamin, who was part of this group, chose to leave. Although adept at making St Ives abstractionism it did not sit naturally with him. He did not see value in its art.
He sought to replicate abstraction in nature and was inspired by others who had also mastered this craft such as the Composer Brian Eno, who he later collaborated with and Gnawa musicians of Morocco.
Right the way through his artistic production we can see his engineering draughtsmanship, his formally perfect artworks always infused with an air of technical experimentation and a poetic response to the natural world.The artist was inspired by pattern and obsessed with process.
Benjamin made monumental paintings. In the studio he thought a lot and considered every move. It was during these periods of contemplation that he would make warm up paintings that were beautifully loose and almost the antithesis in process of his large works. However it was in these smaller watercolour paintings that he would experiment with colour combinations.
This fabulous watercolour and acrylic on gold leaf paper is one such work. 1n 1985 Benjamin was commission to make a substantial artwork by P & O for their new luxury boat, The Royal Princess. He produced a larges series of works on large Gold Leaf boards. He loved the additional dimension the shimmer of the gold leaf brought to the work. He kept the offcuts and used them in his later series. This work is one such work.
Included in the photographs in this listing are two photos of Anthony Benjamin working on a watercolour from the same period in the late 1990’s, early 2000's. Also included is a photo of works in-situ as part of the Benjamin Estate and an image showing the large paintings that these paintings makes reference to.
