Now working in bronze, in addition to the earthenware sculpture and oil painting that Stephen Benwell has established a reputation for, the artist presents a new body of work sharing his perspective on traditions of beauty with deft art historical references. His painterly style and sensuous lines, while visually appealing, also reference and challenge classical forms. In the mixed exhibition followers and new audiences may observe how Benwell’s practice transforms in this bronze era.
