Benjamin Eric is a mixed-media artist who creates assemblage wall constructions/paintings and sculptures. He works with a variety of materials to explore the themes of history and myth.
“My creative process is driven by repetition and layering, mimicking the passage of time and the accumulation of stories and memories. Through my work, I aim to evoke an archaeological quality that encourages viewers to delve deeper and uncover hidden details and meanings.”
In his current work, he uses symbols, constellations and mythological references to create intricate narratives within each piece. The contrast of textures and materials further emphasizes the interplay between past and present, old and new.
“Ultimately, I hope to create artwork that invites viewers to connect with the universal human experience of history and discovery. By exploring the layers and symbols embedded in my constructions and sculptures, I seek to foster a deeper understanding of our shared stories and cultural heritage.”
