The illustratively exquisite watery thoroughfares and sublimely iconic architecture which frames and buoys the hugely graphic presentation of Venice by anyone’s standards of ambient excellence provides the visually opulent backdrop for Gary Benfield’s very latest hand embellished limited edition release witnessed hereabouts. Yes, that’s THE Gary Benfield, the hugely gifted and popular contemporary fine artist who’s forged an enviable and deserved reputation constructed on a stunning back catalogue of predominantly wildlife and equine-esque features.

Not at this time of compositional asking however, as we feast our eyes on a gorgeously considered and meticulously detailed visual semblance of a familiar Venetian vista, for what we believe to be Benfield’s first time. Along with London, Benfield makes no bones of his love affair with the Italian destination of choice to millions, with this highly collectable example of his craft – entitled ‘Santa Maria’ - testament to not only his passion but absolute skillset. We are now inviting enquiries and pre-orders for this hand-signed study, via the usual channels of communication.
