Andrew Bennett
Fourteen Foot Bank - original surrealist impressionism painting-contemporary art

2025

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Andrew Bennett’s Fourteen Foot Bank is a mesmerizing interplay of interior and exterior spaces, where nature and human-made structures exist in poetic dialogue. A lighthouse, weathered and standing resolutely in the middle of calm waters, is framed by the open doorway of a quiet room. The scene beyond is crisp and serene, with a pale blue sky reflecting on the gentle waves, while the foreground consists of a meticulously rendered tiled floor in muted tones of green, cream, and black. The perspective draws the viewer’s eye through the room, out to the open world beyond, creating a dreamlike connection between the domestic and the untamed. At the heart of the painting, an American Avocet perches delicately on a lush green plant set atop an elegant wrought-iron stand. The bird’s poised stance and elongated beak suggest attentiveness, as if it is considering a journey toward the sea. This unexpected juxtaposition between a coastal bird and an interior space lends the painting a surreal quality, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur. The avocet's warm, earthy plumage contrasts harmoniously with the cool hues of the lighthouse and water, further enhancing the painting’s visual and conceptual balance. Bennett’s precise rendering of textures—be it the reflective ceramic floor, the soft tufts of foliage, or the lighthouse’s rusting exterior—grounds the work in realism, while its composition hints at something beyond the tangible. The scene is imbued with quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to consider themes of solitude, transition, and the passage of time.
