Old City Jewish Art Center 119 N. 3rd Street, Philadelphia PA 19006

At first glance, my work may appear conventional. I try to produce works of art, that are in fact hiding deeply in the hidden forces that plugs us to an inner connection to nature. Doing what I do has nothing to do with what is in style or other people’s values. I am on my own personal path.

Everything changes, as the earth moves away from our Sun, and the Universe slides more and more into the unknown. The question of how to express the transformation of life is reflected in these paintings. For obvious reasons, I love to push clichés to beyond their boundaries; I have chosen to portray landscapes that reflex images and symbols of The Fullness of the Earth.

Since 1966, Bensignor has exhibited her work primarily in the New York, New Jersey, and the Pennsylvania area. Her work was also featured in several exhibits in Japan. In 1985, Bensignor’s work was exhibited in a show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and again in 2003. Since 1973, her work has been on continuous display at New York City galleries. Bensignor’s work can be seen in a number of public and private collections in the United States, England, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Belgium and Portugal.

If you would like more information about the artists and photographs of current pieces to be in the show, or to schedule an interview with Bensignor, please call Old City Jewish Art Center at 215-923-1222 or Paulette Bensignor at 664-0972

Love Park is the name locals have given to John F. Kennedy Plaza in center city Philadelphia. The famous Love sculpture was made by Robert Indiana. It “was first placed in the plaza in 1976 as part of the United States’ Bicentennial celebration. It was removed in 1978, but the sculpture was missed and the chairman of Philadelphia Art Commission, F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., bought the sculpture and permanently placed it in the plaza, in 1978.”

The park is open to the public and free to visit.
