ART021 | Pablo Benzo: Brief Encounters

Creating still life paintings since 2011, Pablo Benzo goes a long way beyond mere representation of everyday or imaginary objects, reciting his themes strictly from memory and delivering compositions that may equally bring to mind landscapes or portraits, illustrated as pre-eminent relationships between geometric shapes, further emphasized through color. With feeling partaking wholeheartedly in a fairly subconscious process, the artist in his practice is comfortable “juggling with forms, surfaces, and light as a way of examining and expressing his emotions”. The artworks presented at ART021 showcase his most complicated compositions to date; Benzo completed these in a short period of time, working on them simultaneously, finishing one part with another one still drying up, and exercising strategical planning and a quite methodical approach in the few weeks of energetic creativity that relied mainly on intuition rather than thought.

Founded in 2013, ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair focuses on local resources while adopting at the same time a global perspective, bringing together top galleries, institutions, artists and artworks around the world, with an aim to building a high-quality platform for galleries, institutions, collectors and sponsors.
