Greg Benz

Benz has been painting for over a decade. He is an artist whose work engages the viewer through the use of non traditional painting techniques and the viewer’s imagination. His abstract landscapes have quickly gathered a dedicated base of collectors. Benz’ work which is mostly acrylic on canvas or wood panels has been shown at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, solo shows at The Arts Project in London, as well as galleries in Kingston and Toronto.

"With my latest work I'm trying to push the boundaries of the abstract landscape idea. Using acrylic paint and mixing it with different polymers and resin to push how we look at landscapes and nature. My smaller series focuses more on a representational horizon line but is still semi abstract and has more texture and earthy feel. It started off based on our Canadian winter landscapes here in Ontario and has grown from that idea."
