Dutch-born artist Arthur Benjamins has significantly impacted the art world, particularly known for his pioneering use of enamel paints in motor racing art. His photo-realistic style has not only garnered attention in the UK, Japan, and Australia but has also influenced motoring artists worldwide since 1983. Self-taught, Benjamins has explored various genres, from Land-and-Water speed record-breaking art to abstract iconography, where he merges iconic images with minimalism. He’s also revived Neoplasticism, adding his unique textural and colorful touch. Now based in Peoria, Arizona, Benjamins is renowned for his “Desert Series,” capturing the beauty of Arizonian landscapes. His art, which includes limited edition prints, book covers, and appearances on national television, continues to captivate audiences, especially since his first USA exhibition in 2014.”
