James Bennett

Bennett strips away the expected and leaves us with the essential. His portraits play at the edges of recognition—faces obscured, features fragmented, identities blurred into abstract planes of bold color. There’s a delicious tension in his work, a visual tug-of-war between concealment and revelation that mirrors our own digital-age anxieties. The British artist’s background in fashion illustration reveals itself in the elegant economy of his lines and his fearless color selections that somehow manage to be both jarring and harmonious. Hang a Bennett on your wall, and prepare for conversations that never quite end.
