Greg Benson
Mobility allows the viewer to see each separate object in the painting. Objects such as figures, animals and trees are isolated in his images, which allow the viewer to see each separate form from a different angle of vision. His work is characterized by an aerial perspective that is often found in naive or primitive art. Each painting is a renewal of his pursuit to visually define Western man: who we are, what I am? His great-grandfather was a full-blooded Cherokee, his grandmother a half-breed Shawnee. His father was a first generation American, a Swede. He is intrigued with the real history of America and He pursued this research with a passion and continually included his findings in my paintings. Greg Benson passed away in his native Arizona in 2018. Contact the gallery for available paintings by Greg Benson .
