Benjamin Shaw

From my perspective, Abstract Expressionism serves as a conduit for the exploration of emotional and intellectual depths. It resembles a therapeutic conversation, albeit one of a more cosmic nature.

My artistic ambition extends beyond the mere expression of raw sentiment. It is within the realm of surrealist Automatism that I truly enjoy exploring. The act of relinquishing conscious control grants access to the intricate labyrinth of the subconscious. Here, the mind roams freely amidst abstract reveries, contemplations, speculations and postulations, with ensuing thoughts and emotions navigating unexpected and convoluted pathways. It is a realm marked by its eccentricity, unpredictability, and magnetic allure.

Here I stand, embracing a spirit characterised by its audacity and sagacity through my artistic pursuits. I embrace the chaos and the unknown, aspiring to present an enigmatic tapestry woven within the human psyche.

In a somehow inexplicable manner, painting has a way of bringing clarity to everything.
