{"product_id":"benjamin-jason-there-is-a-kid-next-18289","title":"Jason  Benjamin 'there's a kid next to me '","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned artist Jason Benjamin describes his art as experiential. Indeed, stripped back then intensified, his atmospheric landscapes are less about preciness and more a vehicle for emotional contemplation. Like taking a walk to turn over an idea, his vistas contain a private gravitas that is reaffirmed by their titles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave you ever caught the train out of Melbourne? Streaming through the country, a child settles next to you, flicking lint from their jacket. Set against the blonde land, two strangers - worlds apart - meet. Washed in an unseen sun, ‘there is a kid next to me ’ hums with quiet significance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJason Benjamin's work is represented in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia, as well as numerous regional, university and corporate collections. During his lifetime, he was a multiple finalist in the Wynne, Archibald and Doug Moran Prizes, and in 2005 received the Archibald Prize's Packing Room Prize. Following his untimely passing, Benjamin's work has become increasingly sought after, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire works by an artist whose poetic vision of the Australian landscape continues to resonate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/collections\/jason--benjamin\"\u003eJason BENJAMIN\u003c\/a\u003e (1971 - 2021 )\u003cbr\u003e'there's a kid next to me ' 2005\u003cbr\u003eetching\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 40 x 66 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 57 x 75 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Signed, titled, dated and editioned in margin\u003cbr\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003cbr\u003eCondition is \u003cstrong\u003eVery Good:\u003c\/strong\u003e Describes a work of art's image as Excellent, but may show some small signs of surrounding wear to paper or frame.
