Description

Benjamin Britt, born in Windfall, North Carolina, attended Philadelphia’s Museum College of Art, Hussian School of Art, and the Arts Student League in New York City. Britt’s oil paintings and charcoal drawings, seen in some of the finest private collections in the country, range from strong symbolic African themes, charcoal drawings depicting neighborhood children, beautifully rendered portraits, to his widely acclaimed surrealist works. These works form a sense of balance, and space and present strong symbolic messages that cannot be ignored.
