About The Artwork

What to do with an old Citroen 2cv roof, when fitting a new one? The only good thing about the old roof was the rear glass windscreen, the rest of it leaked. I managed to detach the rear windscreen and cleaned it up. I thought I might use it as a plate for making monotypes, and I wanted some vivid colours that reminded me of France, so used acrylic paint, instead of oil based inks. Here comes a happy accident - having made the work, I went to lay Japanese washi paper over the "plate", so as to press and transfer the image - (un)fortunately the paint on 2cv rear windscreen glass had already dried! So, here is my acrylic painting on re-cycled 2cv rear windscreen, I hope you at least like the story, thanks for viewing. As a footnote, the editor of the French Literary Review saw the work and thought to respond to it with a poem - to be featured with my painting in the next issue of the journal.

"My work is research-based. I use commonplace materials, together with paint, text, film and sound to respond to place, environment, folklore and memory; each work an artefact in an ongoing process.This is basically my set of rules, which at times I decide to break." Philip Bennetta is an English artist, poet and psychologist who has also lived and worked in France and South America. In the late nineteen sixties he became attracted to an interdisciplinary approach to the arts, which continues today, featuring a considered inclusion of subjects, styles, materials and techniques together with the blurring of traditional boundaries. His work relates to place, fragment, folklore and memory and is essentially poetic, inspired by E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot and Arte Povera. His poetry has appeared in a range of literary journals, anthologies, collections, films and broadcasts. He is married to the visual artist Susan Bennetta and their home and studios are in Walmer, Deal, Kent.
