The ceramic work of Australian artist Stephen Benwell is quite varied with vessels, vases, and objects, but it is his sculptural work that caught my attention. His small nude male figures reference classical works of antiquity, but they are rendered with the very modern, painterly touch of random colorful glazes. The palette is unexpected and the marvelous, rough expression of the figures is engaging. When I visited his website, I discovered an exhibition he created called "Collection" in which he directly references classical figures and sculpture with intriguing groupings of small objects (looking like unearthed fragments from a Roman archaeological dig), busts, and figures in vitrines. His work brings to mind the work of Alison Schulnik. I blogged about her incredible film "Mound" here. Take a look. http://stephenbenwell.com/home

The text below was lifted from Niagara's website.Steven really is a living treasure. His show is on in Melbourne this month. We cannot predict the future, but even understanding how the past affects the present remains a mystery for most of us without degrees in psychology. Yet still we want to know what is in store and thus we consult the oracles. In the modern world this is less likely to be a priest of Apollo, and more likely the daily horoscope or latest fashion blog. There is a suggestion in Benwell’s exhibition title, walking to oracles, that it is the journey that may provide the key to enlightenment, and that what we find there is going to be coloured by our experiences and/or our expectations rather than a revelation direct from the gods. Benwell’s interest in the classical has been evident in recent exhibitions. As the recipient of the 2010 Sidney Myer Ceramic Award he created, literally, a showcase of the ancient – objects and detritis exhibited in hermetic museum cases. A disassembled civilisation on display. The current body of work continues to draw on classical humanist themes. The familiar form of pots, vases and dishes are painted with vignettes of landscape and figure. The surfaces are filled with colour, perhaps darker and denser than previously. A series of eight panel paintings are a combination of modernist portraiture and decorative montage and create an unexpected yet satisfying whole. Benwell has developed a technique of overpainting his ceramic surfaces: erasing, layering and superscribing to create a palimpsest over new and existing forms – as if he is re-writing the history of the object. He has taken this a step further with some of the new statues – re-assembling (sometimes purposefully) broken bodies into his own version of classic perfection. In 2013, Heide Museum of Modern Art will present a comprehensive survey of Benwell’s work and we will have the opportunity to see the progression of the potter to painter, and ceramicist to sculptor. I predict that this will be one of the highlights of the coming year. Gina Lee Associate Director Niagara Galleries, Melbourne
