Biography

Combining photography, painting and drawing, Will Benedict creates works that test the limits of an art form, disrupting the distinction between the image and the frame, painting and reproduction. Through the processes of deconstruction, hybridisation and recomposition, the artist mystifies the boundaries and disorients his audiences, exploring notions of inequality, consumerism, gig-economy, a sense of collective alienation and parallel universes. The ambivalence of the subject of his work is continued through the merge of media and play on the audience’s senses. Through the use of journalistic methods and footage found on Youtube, magazines and TV, Benedict explores the relationship between art, commercial production and advertising and social media. A powerful commentary on the social, political and economic underpinnings of contemporaneity, Benedict’s practice is at once humorous and tragic, piercing through the fabrics of reality. ...
