The goodness hits Sydney next month with a new solo show, Oranges & Lemons, from the colourful and talented hands of Bennett.
“Sydney based artist BENNETT, currently working out of StupidKrap studios, uses aerosol, acrylic and mixed media to create works influenced and inspired by the ever changing urban surroundings. His thought provoking, sometimes controversial and shocking statements are achieved by taking mundane, everyday imagery and twisting it to suggest an alternative meaning. The use of textural and layered backgrounds juxtaposed with bold foreground images further extended this contrast created within these mash-up styled works.
Re-contextualising common and mass produced objects and themes is a major characteristic within BENNETTS’ works, these alternative narratives and scenarios are created to both entertain and challenge the audience to explore each piece in the search for their own meaning or conclusion.”
