Benefit the Creator is an Earth dwelling, multidisciplinary technicolored cowboy poet most recently known for creating vibrant, bold-stroke paintings on the marriage between basic figures and complicated narratives. These childlike creations willfully depict his energetic cache of clean-handed curiosity and concern. Work that explores the incorporation of language and symbolism in a visual landscape.
The ideas exist in colorful constructions of figures, patterns and words that invite us to revisit the innocent mentality of a joy-riddled youth.
Receptions are free and open to the public.
