Opening Reception for “Far & Out: A Digital Manifesto” by Benjamin Pesqueda on 2/18/2024, 3-5:00 PM
You’re cordially invited to the opening reception for “Far & Out: A Digital Manifesto” by Benjamin Pesqueda!
Join us at Lightspace Gallery in the International Art Museum of America on Sunday, February 18, 2024 from 3 to 5 PM.
The exhibition will be showcasing the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and the limitless possibilities of modern digital artistry. In a world where digital printing often falls short in capturing the richness of color and texture found in traditional mediums, Benjamin’s work strives to redefine the boundaries of what digital art can do. Each piece is a testament to months and years of meticulous craftsmanship, employing a fusion of physical and digital tools to push the boundaries of what digital painting can achieve.
Far & Out explores themes encompassing memory, energy, and the fear of the unknown. Utilizing graphite, photography, and digital painting, Benjamin adopts a style reminiscent of neo-futurism to articulate moments of ecstasy, presence, and beauty.
Benjamin relocated from Texas to California in 2019, where he previously taught art for more than a decade. This collection serves as a visual narrative, capturing Benjamin’s artistic evolution and unwavering dedication to the craft.
