Benjamin Bocock
'a journey of life'
From the shores of Aotearoa and then abroad. Benjamin has now planted his
roots in Melbourne to show his flavour. Benjamin started up his own artist
group under the name eye candy in 2003 and now has taken on two young australian
artists. The start of his career as a full time artist came when selling his
first four pieces through the national art gallery of New Zealand and since
then hundreds more through exhibitions in galleries, bars, cafes and commissions.
He studied a bachelor of design in visual communication and illustration in
Wellington NZ.
Benjamin paints mainly human form in stylised portraits and abstracts. He
has a obsession with painting the human eye 'a window to the soul' He takes
his inspiration from the everyday. People, emotion, love, friendship, passion,
life.
