Oliver Hazard Benson
TnT - Surreal Nude Figure, Fine Point Graphite Drawiing, Matted and Framed

2000

About the Item

An overly exaggerated nude figure is the subject of Oliver Hazard Benson's drawing entitled "TnT". Upon closer look, the artist's fine hand is evident in the amazing detail in the figure's fine facial features and hair. This piece is matted and framed in a silver frame measuring 16h x 12w inches. Oliver Hazard Benson TnT graphite on paper 12h x 7w in 30.48h x 17.78w cm OB0079 Oliver Hazard’s paintings are produced directly from his imagination and deals with a mixture of imagery he has witnessed in his travels, dreams, and read about in literature. The artist is influenced by Taoism and European occultism, especially the movements of the late 19th and early 20th century. Hazard is also inspired by Surrealism and the Viennese school of Fantastic Realism imagery as well as the technique and practice of old Tibetan painting and that of Renaissance Europe. His imagery comes from his imagination within and doesn't rely on specific models whether visual, literal or otherwise cultural; but also does not avoid the appearance of recognizable figures (such as a specific god or goddess) should one of them appear.

  • Untitled - After Rembrandt's Susanna and the Elders, Original Oil on Panel
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This painting was inspired by Rembrandt's "Susanna and the Elders", especially Simon Schama's commentary on it, and the Me Too Movement. It depicts a vulnerable woman looking at the viewer, the male figure was derived from an Italian fascist sculpture. Rembrandt's painting depicts only one elder. It is assumed the other elder (or voyeur) is the viewer. This painting also contains references to global warming, surveillance capitalism and a thistle. According to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, thistles "like all prickly plants are a symbol of the protective belt defending the heart against external harm and attacks". This piece is framed in an ornately carved black wooden frame measuring 25.5h x 21.5w inches. William Krug...

  • In the Land of the Free (with Phosphorous Bombs), Allegorical Original Painting
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This painting originated with a photo of Phosphorous bombs in the 2010 issue of World Press Photo. Phosphorous bombs are known to burn flesh to the bone, are outlawed by the Geneva Convention, and were being used on an oppressed people. With the exploding bombs are "dollar pyramids," together they reveal violence and greed on a pastel horizon. Front left is a herm derived from Mantegna lamenting the loss of virtue. In the foreground is a family group. I painted the child holding an assault rifle after reading about the number of children that die of gunshot wounds. The woman gazes up at a comic book-like hero. In his book on the Greek Heroes Stephen Fry said that the "heroes cleansed our world of...earth-born monsters that endangered mankind and threatened to choke the rise of civilization." While painting this I thought about disproving Susan Sontag's statement that Camp is never political. This piece is framed in a heavily carved wooded frame measuring 25.5h x 21.5w inches.
