SEASCAPES by Bensignor

The Sea is the subject, the muse of my one-person show at the GREAT BAY GALLERY in Somers Point, NJ. The show runs from June 23 to July 19, 2014. The opening reception at the Great Bay Gallery will be on Friday, June 25 from 5-7pm.

The subject of my show is not only about, the artwork, but what happens between the viewer and art. It is not unlike hearing a piece of music caught in an object. It is how one responds to the object that makes it art.

I take a familiar subject; in this case the subject is The Sea, and try and infuse it with my energy, emotions and experiences.

All humans have in some way have/had a connection with the sea. Some scientists believe our species developed from the sea. The human body is 50% or more made up of water. Our planet is 98.9% made up of water.

Personal history with the sea:
Besides coming to the New Jersey shore my whole life, I have been living along side of the Atlantic Ocean, I have bathed in it, swam in it contemplated it, and feared it. I lost a grandfather and a close cousin to the ocean. In each piece of art that I make with the subject of the sea, I try to commemorate their lives.

The style:
I try to fuse the reality of the form with the Romantic. At the core of each person is there not the Romantic?
Art is a way of communicating, the energy of our universe that flows in us and to one another.

If my work can contribute to one FEELING SOMETHING, then I have succeeded.”
