Trudy Benson’s most recent paintings are heavily influenced by early graphics programs such as Microsoft Paint. For Benson, painting has everything to do with surface as a viscose, sculptural material and color as a mutable component. Her contemporary painting vocabulary incorporates digital imaging techniques as well as historical painting tropes.
Trudy Benson was born in Richmond, VA, and now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her current solo exhibition, PAINT, opened on April 25 at Horton Gallery. Recently, her work was included in an exhibition at the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles as well as in Art Brussels with Horton Gallery.

There was only enough space for a small cot, this lamp, and its enormous shadow.”
