Settle Before The Sun Painting

'Settle Before The Sun' is an original painting on canvas stretched with aluminum bars. This original painting was recently exhibited in my solo exhibition 'Meeting of Moments' in Edinburgh Nov 2022. Working intuitively, traveling plays a large part in Benassi’s development as an artist. Removing conceptual restrictions, she places importance on absorbing as much information as possible to inform her use of mediums, colour palette and compositional structures within her painterly surfaces. Whilst abstract, Benassi’s surfaces display subtle washes of colour, scratched surfaces and patchwork constructions, inspired by shifting shades and shadows and organic qualities found in human-made landscapes.
