For over two decades Benjamin was one of the Australia’s most prominent working artists until his untimely death in 2021. His large scale, romantic landscapes are highly collectible and hotly contested on the secondary market.
Benjamin’s distinctive style and artistic talents perfectly coalesce in Now and Forever. The work hails from a distinguished group of 2012 paintings that depict the Australian bush beneath dramatic skies filled with clouds and smoke. In this rare example, we see the origin of that smoke as flames crest the rocky hill, the undersides of distant gum trees glowing with their reflected light.
