Myles Bennett

Myles Bennett is interested in the intersection of architectural drawings, 18th century landscape paintings, and the organized space of woven and raw canvas. Bennett's approach combines a variety of techniques, including intricate pencil drawings that are guided by the canvas grain, inking into the cotton fibers, and the precise extraction of a canvas's warp in order to merge his curiosities and the surface's condition into an aesthetic balancing act. The resulting works, which incorporate ink, acrylic, graphite and colored pencil, blur the divisions between painting, drawing, textile, and sculpture, and embody a sense of space both within and beyond the two dimensional plane.
