BENJAMIN SENIOR – SCREENING
2024-08-26Senior approaches his work as a social realist by walking the streets and making daily observations of multicultural London. However, once the work is underway, the approach shifts to painting in a formalist manner, constructing the painting to achieve an abstract unity.
He is drawn to commonplace scenes that we might pass by on autopilot, like the bus stops and commercial storefronts seen throughout the exhibition. The title Screening has a multitude of layers and meanings; there are the phone screens most people are nowadays fixated on, the fashion billboard screens that colorfully light up streets, the storefront windows that try to lure the street traffic to come inside to shop.
