Benjamin Shine

http://www.benjaminshine.com/

From his Biography: "Shine's fabric-portraits have generated a following of collectors including Baroness Thatcher, Sir Edmund Hillary and President Obama, with works exhibited in public locations including Deutsche Bank, Woburn Abbey, The New Zealand High Commission, Ligne Roset and the Museum of Arts and Design, New York."

It's not hard to see why. Unique, beautiful and unusually crafted. Here are three of my immediate favorites:


Nude Study - technique development
Mixed fabrics woven through hessian canvas
90cm. x 90cm.




Sir Edmund Hillary
Treated Nylon Fabric through steel eyelets on blue anodised aluminum
4ft. x 5ft.



The Space Between Light and Shade
Single length of pleated and pressed tulle behind plexiglass
3ft. x 4ft.
