About The Work
The extreme level of realism captured in each of Ben Schonzeit paintings can only be truly appreciated in person. As a prolific artist who manifests beauty with his brush, his focus on detail often creates an aesthetic that surpasses the charm of the objects themselves. “I paint photographs most of the time. The photograph is my subject–not oranges or apples, but the photographs themselves. Cameras mimic how we see in both detail and depth of field. A part of what I do is look for the timeless in the specific. But in the end you must know that you are looking at something other than a photograph. Paintings have a unique ability to convey experience because every inch is created by hand,” he explains.
