Description
Walking by the park early January 2021, i saw this scene which was so beautiful, and so decided to take pictures of it to paint. Looking at how these very trees had lots of leaves some few months ago and now all was dried up, just the branches, i quickly knew what the title would be Faded glory. This painting is about the hardships most people are experiencing in recent times. A few years ago life seemed rosy, but lo and behold comes this virus which has turned everything upside down. My message to everyone going through such hard times, that before you complain just take a look at these trees which were once covered with leaves everywhere, but suddenly the season changed and dried everything up. The good news is that there is still hope as the saying goes where there is life there is hope. Its just seasonal, spring is coming and new fresh leaves will grow and the trees will get their glory back. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to Hang. Signature Location: Bottom left.
Presentation
Artist Statement:
I was born in the United Kingdom but relocated back to Ghana-West Africa where I come from at an early age. I had my secondary education at the Accra Academy, continuing later at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST), Kumasi-Ghana, where I obtained a Bachelor of Art Degree in Painting with a second-class honours-Upper Division.
My paintings are more representational with the subjects mostly figurative rendered in a stylized and idealized way. I parade elegant women as sinuous as grazing gazelles bejewelled with dew. Tapered female faces in exquisite colour stare dispassionately like proud, virgin princesses. When I paint gourds, it is with the same relish. I dress the gourds up with such purpose that they become their own salesman: silently, imposingly.
I rely on precision in my work. My technique is understated, controlled and waste less. My power relies on finesse and sound craftsmanship to buttress my clear vision.
The variety of colours I use are mostly applied thinly but occasionally in impasto. Balance sums up my style. My works compel discussion. Hidden in them are symbolism, allegory, indirect reference and esoteric purpose.
My aim is always to create something beautiful and aesthetically pleasant to the eyes. I believe in allowing the viewer to participate in the composition by trying to interpret it. The viewer or observer i say, must also express how he or she feels about the work of art, what he or she sees in it and the message he or she feels the artist wants to portray".
Professor Ato K.G. de Graft Johnson an art critic of KNUST, Kumasi-Ghana writes “Bennett is the quintessential artist. He searches endlessly. He experiments ceaselessly. Beauty happens to him by sheer circumstance. He has a unique artistic voice which has range, power, passion and discipline"
