Benjamin Anderson
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 13, 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Dates: May 4, 2023
- May 30, 2023
Benjamin Anderson‘s new oil painting series captures the golden hour in the evening and the afterglow of dawn along the coast of the Monterey Peninsula. He explores the vast changes, subtle nuances, and luminescence of the light at these two distinct passages of time each day.
Years of plein air studies and artistic improvisation have led to Anderson’s unique body of works which capture the shifting lighting and offer a range of perspectives, resulting in compositions that are refined yet raw, soft yet hard, and both lyrical and energetic.
As a lifelong jazz musician, Anderson employs improvisation and musical sensitivity to capture the variable moods of his landscape paintings. Anderson’s greatest artistic gift is his ability to translate the delicate gradations within light and chroma with innate sensitivity.
