The world is never as clean and orderly as people would like to believe it is; artist Benjamin Gardner embraces the chaotic and abstract nature of his environment to create a deconstructed sense of beauty that many will find themselves drawn to despite their desire to escape it. Interestingly, the art of geometry has been explored quite a lot of late, but Benjamin Gardner strays away from the straight lines and measured shapes for art that is more organic.
Hailing from the American mid-west, Benjamin Gardner calls on more mystical and magical influences to inspire his work. He writes, "In an over-explained and over-quantified culture with a focus on monetary gain I take solace in superstitions, divination, and folklore."
