Featuring a stunning collection of original oil paintings by Barry Benner, an accomplished artist from Douglasville, Georgia, we are thrilled to present this particular piece measuring 32.125 inches in width and 26.125 inches in height (including the frame). Titled 'Stop for a Dip' and signed on the back, this artwork is executed in the Impasto style, showcasing the texture and richness of the paint in a three-dimensional way that invites the viewer to engage with the piece. While the depth and dimensionality of the paint are difficult to capture through digital images, we have taken multiple photos to provide a glimpse of the painting's tactile quality. These artworks are truly unique and one-of-a-kind, acquired from the Benner Estate. If you have any questions about this piece, please don't hesitate to ask.
Barry Benner was a remarkable artist who discovered painting as a verb, rather than a noun, at an advanced age. His instinctive paintings aimed to evoke a visceral reaction from viewers, achieved through his preference for oil paint for its fluidity, depth, and forgiveness. Benner experimented with thick and thin layers of paint to achieve honesty in his work, surprising viewers to find that the same artist painted two side-by-side pieces.
Benner's paintings included environmental scenes, abstracts, and symbolic images rendered in an abstract environment. He used heavy-handed strokes to penetrate beneath the surface glaze, and often included silhouetted figures detached from their surroundings to imply a lack of communication. Benner particularly enjoyed the dimension added by reflected light when using dark colors and the insights into his subjects that his paintings offered. Ultimately, he hoped that his work left room for viewers to interpret based on their own experiences and expectations.
Sadly, Barry Benner passed away in September 2022, but his legacy lives on through his remarkable paintings.
