Trudy Benson Solo Show: Representational Elements Form the Basis Of Her Work

Trudy Benson, a rewarded abstract painter, will present her work for a solo show in a short while. Trudy Benson solo show will take place at two galleries, which are Ribordy Contemporary in Geneva and Galerie Bernard Ceysson in Paris. The viewers can observe these two exhibitions at the end of March.

Reported in The New York Time, Trudy Benson has been able to make her name regarded through her abstract paintings so far. Inspired by computer painting programs, Benson applies such way into a physical canvas. Then, she creates her unique way in scraping the paint so it has resulted in thick layered and textured painting. Faithful to this way, she produces some work exhibited in upcoming Trudy Benson Solo Show.

In her interview with Irena Jurek published in ARTFCITY, Benson said that her works for upcoming Trudy Benson Solo Show is influenced by experimental films instead of digital programs. For specific, she mentioned Rober Breer film entitled "A Man and His Dog Out for Air" made her intrigued. Changing from abstraction to representational makes Breer film go along with her ideas on painting.

This is always the process Benson going through in creating her work. In carving the paint on canvas, she is not pegged to an intended result, but she is shifting intuitively as it is mentioned in her website. She produces works through a process involving spontaneity and improvisation. This also certainly applies to her works to be displayed at Trudy Benson Solo Show.

For this upcoming Trudy Benson Solo Show, she explained herself that she persisted on adjusting the same material as before. In keeping with her inspiration from Breer film, Benson used sprayed as a background to show an old movie ambiance. She brushed acrylic paint and rolled oil paint on top of it which result in existing of time and space dimension.

Benson's painting has to be directly witnessed. It cannot be digitally observed as she disclosed that the surface from a painting is very important to her. Physical painting gives a certain sensation itself as she confirmed. Therefore, Trudy Benson Solo Show is a worthwhile event to visit.
