'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.
You can view more of Benjamin’s art work at Deelish cafe on Smith St, Collingwood and also at Hairy Canary on Little Collins St in the city.
