Faculty member Kim Benson is showing LONG SWEET GONE at TOA Presents.

References to Renaissance paintings, whether in image or color palette, populate many of Benson's canvases, establishing a historical ground or exploration and excavation. Materially and metaphorically, representations dissolve under a multitude of strategies that include sanding, stenciling, casting, and extruding, as well as more traditional modes of application by brush. The result of this ouroboric process is LONG SWEET GONE, a series of hallucinogenic abstractions that at times feel solid and sculptural like a stucco wall and at others like a gossamer curtain undulating in a soft breeze.
